I usually put together a scrapbook of sorts with my journaling and pictures lest I forget where I've been and what took place. This is my first stab in the cyber realm.

I just read your trip report and enjoyed it very much.

My husband and I took our eight-year old daughter on her first canoe trip in Algonquin Park back in 1977, entering the park on the Tim River, and Tim Lake, only canoeing as far as Rosebury Lake and Longbow Lake, and then going back the way we came.  We did see a moose, but no bear, which was just fine with us!

We have only been back to Algonquin once, and that was just for a weekend paddle on Opeongo Lake in 1989.  It's a nice area, but we do prefer the BWCA.

Thanks for sharing this trip report.

Brings back memories - I cut my canoeing teeth in Algonquin around the same time as Spartan2 made her trip.

Too bad the park is so close to Toronto though - the scenery is great (as your pix show), but it's pretty hard to get away from the crowds, even with the quotas. I sure hope Q never gets pressured into opening up like that.
