Is it wrong that my first thought after Mom was stung by a bee during camp clean up was - hey I can now get my bug bite photo for the contest??? ...

Initially my Wife was a little upset with me for planning a trip that involved her and a 1310 meter portage. This is her strapping on her bag and pitching in on the lengthy portage. She found it surprisingly shorter then expected and not so...

Portaging our Red, Old Town Peneobscot 16' 4" can be a challenge at times due to it's 75lb weight. I would say I have stepped up my workout lugging this tank over the portage. One day, after putting in my time with a heavy canoe,...

You won't always find my son digging his paddle in on the canoe trail, but he was helping out here as we were paddling Cold lake in the Kawartha Highlands. He tends to sing songs as we paddle. Now only if we can get him...

Our furry companion "Chaya" looking out over Cox Lake early a.m. from our tent. A beautiful view and great location for a tent pad on our site. Although it was overcast in this photo, the clouds cleared out and made for a warm sunny day....

We utilized this large rock at our site for preparing food. It was nicely placed beside our fire pit. The top of the rock was also conveniently at waist height and allowed us to keep the picnic table clear for eating at and playing games....

Eggs from our backyard chickens and maple bacon. I am surprised we weren't joined by the other campers on the lake from the smell of this breaky wafting through the woods :) #RewardsAreOutThere...

Trying out some moves from Becky Mason's classic solo video. Still too afraid to attempt the low circle!...

Whether its climbing trees, rocks, running through the portages, putting worms on a hook, his digits are dirty. This photo depicts some of the grim that clings to my son during our outings, AFTER a swim in the lake. He plays hard, gets dirty and...

Reaching our site on Cox lake in Kawartha Highlands P.P. Home is where you make it and we love nomadic experience of a new location to call our home each time we are out. So many beautiful sites to call home during our stay within...

My son was eager to try out our MSR Hyperflow water filter when we needed more water pumped on our backcountry camp. Throughout our trip he never got became tired of pumping and jumped at every opportunity to filter water. #RewardsAreOutThere...

Picked up some new duds at the Portage Store in Algonquin P.P. last weekend and thought I would sport them while paddling in Kawartha Highlands P.P. #WildernessBling #RewardsAreOutThere...

The thunderbox at our site appeared to be new this year. New wood and chains had this privy gleaming with "newness" amongst the weathered woods of the surrounding area. #RewardsAreOutThere...
