I think it’s been long enough since I last provided a mosquito’s dinner. I am starting to get antsy for a day out before the end of this week. Today would have been the best day but the threat of thunderstorms loomed and, now that it isn’t rain every single day, I am happy to… Read More »
I’ve been enjoying the extended hikes that come with this year’s early season adventures. I am hoping to get back out this week. However, between trudging through the bush, scraping my shins on rocks, scratches from tree branches, bug bites, etc… I’m covered in scrapes and scratches and blotches and need a few days simply… Read More »
Well the water levels have stopped rising. The rain has stopped falling. The sun is out, at least a little bit. More rain is forecast but nothing near the amounts that we’ve had this year. At the end of it all, we’ve experienced the worst flooding on record. I’m very hopeful that this will all… Read More »
The water is rising again. Nearly 70 mm of rain fell here the last 48 hours. Another 50 mm is forecast for later this week. I’m starting to feel like I should just go back in to hibernation and wake up again in July rather than endure this annoying spring any more! That being said,… Read More »

On this fine boring day, I’m excited. This year I am itching to get out, so I am considering heading out as soon as the snow is gone, and starting to hike around off-trail looking for interesting holes to visit later in the year. One thing that springs to mind that ends up taking a… Read More »
Once again, being broke isn’t going to stop me from buying stuff! This year I’m expending great effort to ‘get it together’. That being said, the following items are high priority for this summer: Water shoes! Last year I lost mine somewhere around here and, although I went back there looking for them, I couldn’t find… Read More »
It’s not even the end of February yet and I’ve noticed that the snow is melting pretty fast. If the warm temperatures we’re having continue, I might be in the mud earlier than usual this year. I can’t wait to get back to the Creeky Bog this spring. I keep thinking about how nice and… Read More »
