Labour Day

Ivan and I had a wonderful time in Algonquin! We had cloudy, but dry, weather for the first couple of days. Our last day we experienced a misty kind of rain for most of the day, and at some points it actually did rain. We were fine with our ponchos, and knowing that we would not be setting up camp in the rain helped! We portaged about 10 km total through some areas that had been hit pretty hard from the storms of the summer. There were fallen trees everywhere! Huge trees that had been toppled over or just ripped apart. It was quite a sight to see! Rangers had tidied up the actual portage trail so we did not have to scramble over trees ;) We saw three otters playing in White Birch Lake. They were very funny to watch, but difficult to catch on camera. In the picture you can see one of them poking its head up out of the water. There were three of them all together. Today we are cleaning up and relaxing before the big BACK to SCHOOL event tomorrow!
