I have just booked a back country site in Algonquin Provincial Park for a week in June. The site is at the end of 2 adjoining lakes. To get in to the first lake, there is a 2 kilometer portage through thick woods from the spot off the highway where I will park the car. Once in the lake, it should only take about an hour or two to paddle in to the site. It is a fairly unknown place to camp (at least from what I have read), and because of the effort to get into the site, I expect there to be no-one else on either of the lakes during the trip.
The little boy won't be coming with me, as he is only 5 months old, and cannot yet grasp a paddle in a coordinated manner. The hound dog will be coming though. He keeps the bears and the hippos at bay.
Fishing, canoeing, photography, gathering wild edibles. It's gonna be good!
Algonquin, here I come!
Hope you are having a good day.
Mungo

Well done Mungo. Glad you'll manage to get away Beagle 'n' all.
I hope that your camping plans come to fruition.
I hope to lose that $5!
Plans are great to make, and that sounds like a great one to me. Real wild and alone. Perfect trip.
Thanks Pablo, DanT and Martin!
