July 2007 Solo Algonquin Canoe Trip Planning

It's time to begin planning for my next solo canoe trip in Algonquin Park, Jim's latest post inspired me to start now. I was delaying somewhat because I want Monty's knee to begin to heal, but if he isn't able to make it, Spring has told me she'll mind him for the few days that I'll be gone. I think he'll be fine though, and be able to join me.



My comprehensive camping list is below - I may end up bringing less, but I have most of the basics covered. I think the only question mark is the camping chair. But since I'll be doing a small portage, it isn't like I am carrying a huge amount with me. Anyway, here I go:
