Here Moosey Moosey

For those who know me, i was born and raised in newfoundland. Rather than spending the $500 plaine ticket to get my ass back to NFLD, id be more than happy to drive 4 hours up north to get the same landscape experience (minus the family and friends thing) This was my first time to northern ontario (past barrie that is, lol) and i was totally brought back by the scenery. It reminded me so much of home. The highway 60 which runs thru the park in itself is an experience to drive on. Rolling hills, evergreen trees (sigh) rock cuts (double sigh)...i was happy enuff jus by driving that highway (reminds me of the TCH in NFLD...)

We seen 3 moose, one of which was next to the highway (see last pic) maybe 20 feet away from where we were standing. The other off the highway across a bog, adn the other while we were walking on the Mizzy Lake trail in teh woods. 1 deer, which i never seen and almost killed bambi, a rabbit, 2 beaver, numerous Loons (never seen nor heard them before. and seen my first firefly....(they are amazing...but ugly as ****)

needless to say, i will be visiting algonquin again, i am hooked, i love it up there...no humidity, no haze...just pure great weather!

i was nervous as hell for liek 40min...then i calmed down...
its hard stuff, we and the lady did it...i obviously have a longer powerfull stroke than her, so i kept turning the canoe whichever way i was paddling, ahah we couldn\'t keep it straight...

[SIM SIMMA]

LOL..

at least you never turned the thing over.

I\'ve seen many people who flip the thing.... kinda funny when it\'s not you ;)

But once you get the hang of it... it\'s pretty relaxing and fun.

[bubba1983]

^^ agreeed....i jus don\'t got the 2G to buy one brand new...it only cost us $20 for the entire day (canoe, 2 paddles, 2 PFD\'s, and safety kit) at Lake Opeongo (algonquin\'s biggest lake)

[SIM SIMMA]

I like canoeing but not enough to buy one...

I\'d rather drop the money on rims :p

[TheProfessor]

Looks like you had a really nice trip.....I would really love to take some time off and head up there for a few days just to unwind and see what it\'s like.

[Broli]

lol

Welcome back to KW!! Glad you had fun on the trip. Northern Ontario really is amazing, very beautiful, although I bet NF still has better scenery with the ocean and all.

In my opinion I\'d just like the 4 hour drive...to bad there arn\'t any twisties or mountain roads nearby.

[bubba1983]
