Not a cloud in the sky! But looks can be deceiving, it was definitely chilly out
Beautiful maple tree - but you know what this mean... winter is coming
Eventually my campsite lost all sunlight - so I canoed over to the next warming station
tr 105: MOCCASIN - MISTY
Back at my campsite - decided to hang out on the cobblestone beach for a bit
Beautiful sunset
Campsite blasted with the morning sun. It's important to choose sites like this in the colder months. Morning sun for the win!
One of the many reasons I love camping in the fall - brilliant colors!
Looking across the channel at my campsite - completely covered in shade
Dinnertime rolled around and wouldn’t you know it – its Thanksgiving! So, I brought a 15lb turkey and all the fixings. It was a grand affair – fit for a king. Except it wasn’t. What actually happened was I ate a box of KD and went to bed after the fire had gone out.
I had to keep moving up the shoreline to stay in the sun but eventually it was no longer shining on my campsite. I was getting cold. I looked across the lake and spotted an island that was in full view of the sun. I mixed a drink, jumped in the boat and paddled over. I spent the last couple of hours on the island and stayed there for the sunset. It was getting cold and time to leave. When I got back to camp I added a layer and sat on the cobblestone beach to watch the lake go dark.
With no real plan for the day, part of me wanted to explore Misty Lake a little bit, but a bigger part of me wanted to just relax and take it easy – and that’s exactly what I did. My entire day consisted of sitting in various places with my shoes off in the sun.
What a seriously gerogeous day!
Day 3: A day off to relax on Misty Lake
Since I had nowhere to go, I slept in a bit today. When I finally dragged my ass out of the tent I was greeted with a cool morning and a bright blue sky! It was a beautiful fall day, but cold. I made some coffee and spent my morning sitting on the rocks in the sun.
An absolutely beautiful October morning in Algonquin Park!
Warm-up station #2 - traded socks for whiskey sours. A sweet deal if you ask me
Looking west at the mouth of the Petawawa River
It was hard to leave the heat from this fire in exchange for a cold tent
Warm up station #1 - Relaxing in the sun
But it's nice and sunny on this island!
I love how camping comes down to the essentials: My shelter, my transportation.
