West Coast Adventure (Part 2) – Johnson Canyon

We got up early (or so we thought) to begin our second day of adventures. The morning air was fairly chilly as it had dropped down to 4 degrees overnight, which motivated Hayden to get breakfast (i.e. hot chocolate) started as we packed up gear for the day.

We weren’t sure exactly which hike to do, so on the way out of the campground, we stopped to talk to the park office about our options. It was only 9:00, but they told us that we were already starting too late and that parking lots would be full and there would be very limited parking on the road. We were still wrapping our heads around just how busy the park is these days.

Killarney Trip Part 2

After a busy couple of days, it was finally time on Monday morning to do some more paddling, but this time we had plans to do something a little more adventurous than George Lake and try our luck on Georgian Bay.

Easter Special Adventure

It’s springtime, and that means that my parents are making their way back to Newfoundland after spending the last few months in Myrtle Beach. Since we live so far apart and don’t see each other much they stop at our place to visit on their way south and then again on their way home – not exactly a direct route, but we’re glad they do. This year, their visit coincided with the Easter weekend and since we have not spent an Easter together in 16 years, we knew that we wanted to make the day special.

Hiking in Ferris

It was a very cold winter day and we were staying warm in the house while trying to figure out something to do outside. We weren’t sure what to do, so as we sometimes do, we just hopped into the car and headed out on the highway. The initial plan was to go to Presqu’ile Provincial Park, but when we took the off ramp we had a last minute choice: go left to Presqu’ile or right to Ferris. Since we had been to Presqu’ile a few times this winter already, we turned right and headed North to Ferris.
