August 2002 Canoe Trip - Canoe Lake, Tom Thomson Lake,
Burnt Island Lake
This trip log details my first canoe trip into Algonquin Provincial Park. My friend
Jeff and I set out to conquer the park in our first adventure. In some ways the
park conquered us, but it was a great time and I really enjoyed the experience.

July 2004 Canoe Trip - Canoe Lake, Tom Thomson Lake
For my second trip into the park, I chose a more relaxing route. It was supposed
to be a holiday after all, so some rest and relaxation was in order. My fiance Jen
and I retraced some of the steps from my previous canoe trip, but we opted to stay
on Tom Thomson Lake for a couple of nights to increase the rest/relaxtion factor
and reduce the crying, wimpering, paddling against the wind factor. After all, I
am a computer programmer... my hands don't see alot of manual labour.

July 2007 Canoe Trip - Canoe Lake, Joe Lake, Burnt Island
Lake, Littledoe Lake, Tom Thomson Lake, Tepee Lake
This was a good 3 night trip with a couple of friends. One canoe and one kayak. We
had some awesome weather, and some great scenery. The trip log was written by Jeff
and can be read on his website.

May 2008 Canoe Trip - Hambone Lake, Petawawa River,
Misty Lake, Timberwolf Lake
A challenging, early season trip into the back country. So early in fact, that the
ice was off the lakes only a week before our trip. I went with a group of friends
from Toronto. It was the first trip for some of them, and I imagine a bit of a rough
introduction to back country camping for them, because the trip was a challlenge
for me too, and I've been on a few others.
