FearFest, Canada's Wonderland

A frightful night of good fun! My friend Dwain’s birthday is next Tuesday, so last night we went to help him celebrate and get in the mood for Halloween! There were lots of mazes themed like haunted houses, spooky forests, "accident scenes" and corn fields and some of them actually were a bit scary! (Dwain asked me why I was pinching his arm – so I think although I wasn’t really into the entire thing – they must have scared me a couple times!) I was more about the rides – in the dark! It’s one thing going there in the summer in the middle of a bright afternoon…it’s another going on a cold night were you can see your breath and going on the same rides in the dark! (Notice the attire - hat and mittens) A good time was had by all!

Burnt Island Lake, Algonquin Park, ON

This was taken during a 3 day canoe trip in Algonquin - on the Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend! It was the nicest weather anyone could hope for this time of year! We did approximately 38km of paddling and 13 portages in total, traveling through Canoe Lake, Joe Lake, Little Joe Lake, Baby Joe Lake, Burnt Island Lake, Jay Lake, Treefrog Lake, Sunbeam Lake, Aster Pond, Willow Lake, an unnamed pond that was far from being more than a swampy mess of mud to DRAG the canoe through, Bartlett Lake, Tom Thompson Lake, Littledoe Lake, Fawn Lake, Teepee Lake, and then back to Joe Lake and finally Canoe Lake. It was a great trip - even saw three moose and had a great time with a great canoe partner! So here is the most unique "LeftLeg" photo yet.... enjoy!
