The time to talk about camping..

... is when you can't go camping. Which is my sad excuse for not having touched this site in three months. My early Spring trip was a crazy one, featuring a missed portage that led to accidental rapids, an incredibly long and tiring first day of travel, two days of endless rain followed by two days of snow, and a ~13km portage along a logging road that was most definitely not part of the original plan. It was most definitely a memorable trip. If you haven't seen the videos, it's a two parter than can be found here and here. 

I'm about to head into the park again. It's been a very wet Spring and early Summer, so I'm expecting sloppy portages and hordes of bugs. But I'm also expecting to have a wonderful time. I'll be spending two of my nights on lakes I've never camped on before (or been to, for that matter), so I get to add two new pins to my wall map as well! 

I've added a second waterproof camera to my gear, so I'll have a camera mounted on the back of my kayak as well as in front of me - we'll see how that works out. Should be great on the water (will be able to turn it on and off via phone app), but I have visions of it getting knocked off repeatedly while portaging. I may have to remove it for the carries, although hopefully not as it would probably generate some nice portage footage as well.
