After spending a day with Stef exploring Wolfe Island, we decided to spend the next day hiking in Frontenac Provincial Park. The humidity from the previous day had dissipated overnight, so the weather was comfortable and sunny. Frontenac Provincial Park has an extensive network of lakes and waterways, making it a very picturesque area. The park is perfect for canoe camping or portaging, so many of the trail Stef and I hiked were a lot less frequented than what we are used to.
We hiked from Arab Lake to Doe Lake and back again, and then walked the easygoing Arab Lake Gorge Trail. In the time spent along the trails we encountered three people at most. It was one of those hard to come by moments where I felt like I had escaped civilization. The park has a pack of wolves, bears, coyotes, and foxes, although the only large mammals we saw were deer. I’ve always wanted to portage, and I think Frontenac Park is a great location to consider in the future.

Before we went on the Arab Lake Gorge Trail, we took a trip to the park office. There we relaxed for a bit by South Otter Lake and enjoyed the view. Without the deer flies this place could be heaven on earth; it was so serene.
We finished our day of hiking with the relaxing Arab Lake Gorge Trail. This trail was a short loop featuring a boardwalk that showcased parts of the Canadian Shield. It was
duckweed season, so some parts of the gorge looked almost overwhelmingly green.
It was a really liberating feeling to be out in a park with so much space and so little people. I can only imagine how much more exciting and adventurous it would be to have a kayak or canoe to navigate the many lakes with.
This was the last of my weekend with Stef. I was really grateful that I got to see her and spend our time together doing such venturesome things. I’ll surely miss her after I move to BC, but our friendship has always been the kind to survive lengthy absences. Isn’t that the mark of a true friend? I look forward to sharing all the stories to come as we both spend the next few years completing our post-graduate education.

Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time
making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems
different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Howdy, I think your web site could possibly be having browser compatibility issues.
Whenever I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening
in Internet Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues.
I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
Apart from that, excellent website!
I absolutely love your website.. Very nice colors & theme.

Good post. I learn something new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon everyday.
It will always be exciting to read through content from other writers and
practice a little something from their websites.
Do you have a spam problem on this website; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; many of
us have developed some nice procedures and we are looking to trade techniques
with others, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.
You could certainly see your enthusiasm in the work
you write. The sector hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who aren’t afraid
to mention how they believe. At all times go after your heart.
