Camping in Algonquin 2009 Videos

While camping requires a little bit of work and effort it provides some amazing rewards. I had the recent opportunity in July of 2009 to camp with Peter Rhett SKS '77 classmate of mine and my young son Christopher who is 10. We had the opportunity thanks to Peter to go into the back country of Ontario and see Black Bears and Moose as well as Loons. Unfortunately the Moose and Bear move to quickly for us to take pictures of them but we really did see them. The Moose was a bull....like Bullwinkle with a full rack.

Here are some videos from the trip. Some of them are kind of silly and we were just having a little fun. But I think you will see we got a great dose of nature and we were able to drink right out of the lakes and streams as they are untainted and untaxed by the Canadians, Americans or the Bilderbergers.

Going Fishin' - Camping in Algonquin Park in Canada

In just one week Christopher (my 10 year old son) I and my prep-school buddy Peter are heading to Ontario to do a little decompression. We are planning on canoeing, camping, moose safari, fishing and overall take in nature as it is meant to be taken in.

No radios, no cars, no electricity, no running water (except for streams of course) and the only roof over our heads will be the sky, stars and some nylon from the tent. The anticipation is really a lot of fun. We are expecting about a 10+ hour road trip from Marblehead. We'll be sure to take plenty of pictures to share with family and friends.

Here is a look at the Canadian weather while we are gone July 4th-12th 2009.

On my last trip here I did hear the wolves at night. Here is a Naturalist Video and a Moose Video

In preparation for this trip Christopher insists that I read Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.
