May 2-4 Shenanigans: Part 2 Bon Echo

The plan for Sunday was to go paddling in Bon Echo Provincial park, but the weather forecast was not looking very promising with a high chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

I’ve recently complete a one night solo canoe trip, where the canoeing was very minimal, and there were no portages.  My next solo trip I was planning had to be bigger.  So, here I go with this trip.
