Hi all, Here is Part 1 of a canoe trip I took last summer. It is the story of a 12 day, 116km canoe trip through the Temagami Wilderness taken August 26 - September 6, 2019 by my husband Sean and myself. We traverse large lakes, drag up tiny creeks, and portage our butts off (literally). It...

Hello all! Here's another short story about our spring trip to Wolf Lake, Temagami, Ontario last spring! It's part trip report, part reflection on why we need to escape the city for the woods. Enjoy!

Hello All! I've gotten into writing short stories about our trips lately. Just a couple pages written in beautiful language to transport you away from your computer and into the bush with me This one is about a trip we took a few years ago up the Lady Evelyn River in Temagami. Let me know what...

Hey guys! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe! Planning to post more soon recipes on the blog soon!

Here is the recipe for my super tasty, rest day favourite: Cinnamon Biscuits! If it tastes good at home you know it will be especially wonderful after awhile in the bush without fresh food. Plus tips on how to bake without bringing a reflector oven!

Thanks for your kind words guys! I really enjoy trying to capture these gorgeous places in words and photos. Being there is such an intensely beautiful experience. Crafting these stories keeps the experience fresh. I'm so happy that you enjoy reading :) Sorry for the wait, part 3 is up now!

Here it is! Part 3 of my story about our recent trip to Temagami, Ontario. In this section we arrive at Makobe Lake and head out through an unnamed chain of lakes to Gamble L before receiving some bad news. Read on to hear my thoughts on Makobe and find out how many campsites there are on this...

Oh man! Always wanted to do a trip through the Barron Canyon and check out High Falls. We've only seen the Barron from the hiking trail at the top, looks awesome from the bottom too! Looks like a great time :)

Here's part 2 of our trip through the Temagami wilderness to Makobe Lake. From Florence L we opted to head down the Lady Evelyn RIver to Macpherson L and then north up the Grays R through Graymud L and Grays L to Banks L. We hadn't heard much about this area and so had no expectations about what...

The Temagami Wilderness area is one of my fav places in the whole world. Rife with trip possibilities ranging from day trips (Lake Temagami right beside the town of Temagami is one of the most gorgeous areas), short relatively easy trips (the Southern Chiniguchi/ Wolf Lake area is gorgeous), and...

Hello All! Hope you've had a fabulous summer with lots of glorious tripping (and not over your feet, lol). Just finished Part 1 of this years trip report. We travelled to a couple places that almost nobody ever goes (Makobe Lake being one, the other you'll have to read to find out!) But first...

I inherited that same style of Eureka, mid 1980's tent from my father in law - we're still using it too! Great little tent. Sad about the portage. Wish there was more protected land in Ontario - especially in areas that are still old growth as there is so little of that left!

Thanks for reading everyone! And thank you for your lovely comments :)

Here's a short but sweet story about a trip we took last spring to Clearwater Lake, Temagami: Warm air wafts in pockets around my body: hot and close, then cool and green—air conditioned by the surrounding forest. The air is different here. Softer. I catch it’s sweet, pine-needle scent as it...
