What I Ate on the La Cloche Trail

A long time ago, I had set a goal for myself to hike the La Cloche Trail in Killarney. One of my outdoor friends, Marian from The Camping Family, was going to hike this trail again for what would be her 8th time and had asked me to join her, which was just the motivation that I needed so I jumped at the chance and said yes. There was lots of planning and talking about gear, food and other logistics from to take care of, but I am not going to get into details about the actual trip as I had shared photos on my Instagram page, so this post is about what I actually planned for my food for the 7 day 6 night trip.

Pre Christmas Yurt Trip – Part 1

For the last two years we went camping in a yurt at Mew Lake in Algonquin Park for New Year’s (You can read about year 2 here), but this year we didn’t get a Yurt booked because we were adventuring in Iceland and we missed the opportunity. We may have missed our shot at New Year’s, but we still wanted to go winter camping at Mew Lake, so when a different opportunity came up, we jumped on it.

Winter Falls in Arrowhead

In December we headed to Huntsville to see a concert by Hawksley Workman, which also happened to coincide with the opening weekend for Arrowhead Provincial Park. We took advantage of this great timing and planned a day trip into Arrowhead to do some hiking and snowshoeing.

First Day Hike 2019

A couple of days ago, a friend of mine contacted me about taking part in the Ontario Parks First Day Hike Challenge. There was no question at all that I was in! Ontario Parks had posted the details of the challenge, whose goal is to promote healthy parks healthy people (#HPHP) and to get people outside to enjoy all that the parks have to offer on the first day of the year, on their social media sites. Basically, get out and hike some trails in a provincial park, share your adventures on social media, and tag Ontario Parks with the hashtag #FirstDayHike.
