Adventures in the outdoors
The title says it all. If you have ever been backcountry camping, whether it is canoeing or hiking or however, you have probably come across a thunderbox. What is that you say? It’s a fancy term for a bathroom in the outdoors. They are typically a wooden box made from 2 x 4’s with a lid to keep your “seat” dry.
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.
I have referenced the Paddle in the Park contest a couple of time in prior posts, but I feel that this story really does need to be shared. (Don’t worry, I have more to share later)…
This year I celebrated my 39th birthday camping. It is not an unusual thing to do, the last 3 years I have been camping, but this trip was a little different. My family stayed home and I was going to camp and canoe with people I didn’t know.
