We slept really well after an exhausting evening as camp hosts. After a good breakfast we drove to Marathon and hiked to Lagoon beach with the aid of an unclear map that was hard to interpret. After some trials and errors, some of which took us through culverts, over culverts, and over the railway tracks, we … Continue reading Pukaskwa Camp Hosting: September 13
September 11, 2022 Stopped for breakfast at Katherine Cove. A peek at the the Group of Seven installation, and a stroll on the beach. We missed the rugged granite shield rocks.

Sarnia is surrounded by water and farmland. Just the other day we drove by mounds of what looked like potatoes, but at … Continue reading Sarnia’s Farmers’ Market
Sarnia's biggest outdoors attraction is Canatara Park, a large park along the shores of lake Huron leading up to the mouth of the St. Clair River. We already wrote a little bit about the beach, but the beach is only a small part of this 184 acre park. The Carolinian Forest Part of the park … Continue reading The Chronicles of Sarnia – Canatara Park

One of the main attractions of Bon Echo park is the 100m high Mazinaw Rock and the many pictographs across its base (over 260). We will head there in … Continue reading Bon Echo Provincial Park
