Adventures in the outdoors
When ticket sales started for the Ontario Backcountry Canoe Symposium in April 2019, it got me thinking back to August when we headed out to Kawartha Highlands for a weekend adventure. The park is located just over an hour drive from us and offers smaller lakes with equally small portages (for the most part), so it makes for an easy last minute weekend getaway.
2018 is a big year for me… I’ll be turning 40 later this year, and there are a number of “things” I’ve been wanting to check off my list. This trip was just one part.

This trip was a little different for us. This trip the boys got a head start on celebrating the last day of school along with the first day of summer.

That gave way for plans on having my boys get a night out on their own, and I would join them after work on Friday.
Sometimes it’s hard to start a post…. this adventure was harder to start. I have been following many outdoor adventure enthusiasts for a while now, started this blog as I had the same passion, but I have been wanting something…. and it sparked with me that it was a solo trip. I have been talking about it online for quite some time, just needed to actually plan and push myself to do it. So, here it is! It is only a one-nighter….but I have a bigger trip planned for the beginning of summer.
