The view from the bottom

It was so nice to finally get away to camp in the backcountry. It’s been far too long. I had the chance this past weekend to visit one of my favorite places. From where we were, you could see the tip of one of the highest peaks in the park. The peak certainly wasn’t climbed… Continue reading The view from the bottom

Hands Across the Water 

What an amazing day we all had!  I’d been super excited about this event for some time now and it was finally here!  I decided to camp overnight at Earle Rowe Provincial Park where the event was being held. I don’t have many pics of that because I came super late and it was so… Continue reading Hands Across the Water 

Ack! Bugs!

I was in a rush this morning getting ready to leave for a trip, so I thought I’d try my hand at vlogging instead! Lol… I think writing might be more my thing!  Either way, I’m trying new things for those bugs that get me all the time! Do you have anything that works for you?

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

No I don’t mean Christmas… or winter. I mean the time of year when camping season is over and gear starts to go on sale! I love shopping for camping gear. It’s not that I skimp on everything, but I really love it when I get a good deal on something. Don’t you? Here’s a… Continue reading It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Challenges and benefits

I’ve been having fun lately tinkering with videos.  I’m not really sure what people like… Videos?  Pictures?  Text?  I’m just going with what I like doing, and I’m hoping that it’s helpful somehow.  I plan on doing my thing regardless, being authentic and whatnot; but I always welcome feedback 😊 (and questions! I’m working on… Continue reading Challenges and benefits

A week in Killarney

Recently I decided to take the week off work to go to Killarney. I stayed for seven days and six nights. I had two nights on George Lake, two nights on OSA lake, and lastly two nights on Killarney lake with a hike to The Crack! (The Crack deserves a whole post of it’s own!)… Continue reading A week in Killarney

Long weekends

I think I’ll be guilty of this this weekend.  Somehow I didn’t notice that this was a long weekend. Once I realized I had some extra time, I checked a few places online for backcountry sites and almost everything is filled right up.  At least the places where I wouldn’t have to drive that far.… Continue reading Long weekends

Senior dogs camping

I read an article in the newspaper today that got me thinking. Actually I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. What if camping is too hard on your dog? This article I read talked about whether or not dogs love us as much as we love them. According to this author they most certainly… Continue reading Senior dogs camping

I’m the firestarter

You have that song in your head now don’t you?  If not that’s OK, you aren’t missing much… it just reminds me of my 20’s long long ago 😉 So today I didn’t feel so much like the hike I had planned. Instead I wanted to tackle a project that was inspired by another blogger.… Continue reading I’m the firestarter
