Adventures in the outdoors
Over the summer and into the fall, Cruising Canoes does a series of Pint and Paddle tours. For a small fee, you get either a kayak or canoe, paddle and PFD and the cost of your pint covered at a local establishment. The tour goes around local areas in the Quinte Region and this particular one I went on took us down the Moira River.
This years fall colors in Algonquin Provincial Park hit peak early, and I mean weeks early. We have been watching the fall color report closely, and we just happened to have a weekend open just when they were due to hit peak. I checked on the Ontario Parks reservation system and was lucky to find ONE site open for Saturday so I booked it immediately.
If you have been following this site, you will have noticed that this summer we purchased our first canoe and took it on it’s first trip. Now comes the time when we need to figure out how to store it over the winter. There are some people who would do this outside, but we are looking to have it stored in our garage.
Summer is back?
The first two weeks back at work (I work in a school), all I could think about was camping. Yes, I have gone out lots this year, but I wanted to go again. Then I received another notification from Cruising Canoes that they were hosting a 2 day fishing trip to Puzzle Lake Provincial Park. I was in! It’s the perfect time frame for me.
