Enniskillen Conservation area

Today we went to Port Perry to find the purple martin geocache and the princess ashra travel bug. We found it with no trouble at all then travelled farther south to Enniskillen Conservation area. Enniskillen is just north of Oshawa. It's a very nice spot with the headwaters of Bowmanville creek running through it.

Dunsford Nature Trail

Went to Dunsford nature trail today to find the rail trail geocache. Did not even know this trail existed and I have lived in the area all my life. Really neat spot. We found the geocache and traded 2 items.

Long Sault Conservation Area

I visited Long Sault Conservation Area today. What a nice spot. For the geocacher there are 3 caches here and one is a multi cache. We searched for 2 of them but only found 1. We did not have time to search for the third.

Algonquin Trip 2006

Well our trip to Algonquin Park turned out to be a huge success this year. And I even caught a nice sized lake trout. Only took 4 years. That was Friday. Saturday we went for a wonderful canoe trip. It started out in snow, sleet and rain mix, but by lunch it had warmed up and the clouds broke up. On Sunday we hiked the Track and Tower loop which is 7.7 km. What a hike that was. Well worth the effort. http://ontario-hiking.com/track-tower.html

Algonquin Park Weather

Looks like we are in for another crappy weekend in Algonquin park weather wise. We can never seem to get perfect weather for our annual Algonquin Park trip. Oh well the weather man could be wrong its only Wednesday.
