This is Garm. He is an old dog, with a new vest to keep warm this winter. Although he loves it by the fire, more than outside in his old age.

I am dealing with the rain in the most sheltered part of the woods while my hubby puts up tent. Smiling, but barely. I have a cold and want to be in my warm sleeping bag.

At the end of the trip, this barrel is the lightest load. Thankful for the short straw today!

such a bright and cheery place!

Northern skyline on a chilly late September evening.

It was a wild day, playing hooky from work to get some more photos!

This movie was filmed in my backyard.

I love Rookie Blue, the cheesy show about Toronto Police. The leading actress in this movie plays in that series. Restoule Provincial Park was used in the filming of this movie. I camped there all my childhood. Went there again this summer...

keys to success! :)

brand new canoe, and scratched the gunnels taking it on and off the storage rack in the back yard. How Pathetic is that? boo.

Haven’t fallen off the bike yet….still smiling! great trails in North Bay ON!

My boler camper has become the gear room.

“don’t try this at home” so we took it to the beach

"Carry me" across the slack line, Keith, ("someone had to be the first") to try it, and "these feet" balanced bravely....

when it gets dark, the s’mores come out!

boiling hot in the Bivvy Sac!

wish I could go to the real cabin!
