Well in no real order, I got about 200 great shots from my trip..

Spent 5 lakes, over 15 km in portages, all in 5 days.

45 skeeter bites, loads of bud smoked, and many powdered meals eaten. I did catch a bass during one trip down the Petawawa River.

These all all from my trip to the west end of Algonquin Provincial Park, this is not car camping, I go hardcore.

One portage was 2.5 km up steep elevations and in wet woods mud. It was nasty during it but so worth it

On one portage, this one was not that bad

Pretty standard portage here

Petawawa River a beaver had built a damn, we needed to do a carry over here, this was pretty solid, I walked right across it. We ran into another downstream a ways but was not as severe, so we just barreled over it.

Just in the water outside my site, man are we glad we got water before these two showed up, the little one just finished peeing in the lake before mom had a drink

Me checking them out, they are about 15 feet away, they got closer right before they swam across the lake, but I was moving back as they were coming closer
