The underwater camera provided a great opportunity take silly pics, this was one of many...

Getting some drawing in at Crotch Lake.

Inspiration comes from what is at hand!...

The Camper’s Companion

This is a great little book, filled with poems, classic short stories, camping tips, and other items of trail-related. Always have it with me....

Kevin’s book was worth the extra weight in my pack.

Elvis with his ukelele

Elvis, who hails from Spain entertains us around the campfire, on the beach, in the canoe...

If he tips over, he’s never getting up again.

An injury from making roasting sticks.

The only pack that didn’t get lighter by the last day of the trip!

Just a little farther, the last time, I promise!

Inside the Bell Lake Park Permit office. Staff shot after the paperwork is complete! (and running back to the parking lot to find out my license plate number)!

This camp stove is amazing! I have owned it for over 10 years. Never a problem. I love great gear that lasts....

And to think I thought it might stop, The tarp didn't do much to help there was a river flowing down that hill. ...

The Necessities of life

Lighting the firebox stove with the Trengia burner for dinner when the rain slowed down....

What a wonderful world!

Perhaps not the "sunrise" photo that would be expected however any one who has done a solo trip knows how good it is for first light after your first night out alone. ...

All By Myself

Around the camp

Trying to dry out after a huge thunderstorm...

Breakfast in the wild

Kicking horse coffee and oat meal...

Camp Kitchen

When travelling solo you don't need much for a kitchen, but its allays important to have a chair for the cook!...
