Adventures in the outdoors
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.

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.
Fall is such a lovely time around here to chase colors and camp in cooler and more comfortable conditions, at least in my opinion. We are definitely fonder of the cooler fall temperatures around Ontario than those hot and humid summer days. Even though those are lovely, but in short spurts. We knew that there was no way we would venture north to Algonquin on Thanksgiving weekend as the crowds tend to be…. a little crazy, so we waited for the weekend after.
Food? Why yes I’ll talk about food! I love food, I eat food, it is a necessity LOL. I had recently completed a multi night solo canoe trip to Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park and thought I’d share some insights from it. I recently wrote about what gear I packed in my 60L barrel for this trip, now I will share what food I packed.
