Time to Paddle
After a full week of packing food and equipment as well as making sure last minute details are in place, Jon and I are finally ready to dip our paddles into the Great Lakes once again! This year we are heading south from Tobermory, on Lake Huron and hoping to reach Kingston on Lake Ontario – 1,500 kilometers away. Without a doubt, this year will be different from the last two. We will be canoeing through the more urban and industrial coastline of the Great Lakes and we will be completing the largest portage of our lives – 25 kilometers around Niagara Falls! Although we will miss the quiet and secluded campsites of the northern lakes, I’m sure we will take pleasure in the warmer climate of the south and the amenities we will have at established campsites – showers, flush toilets and better cell phone coverage to keep you updated on this blog. Please join us in this adventure!
