Camping in Algonquin Park

After a hectic move back to Ottawa and the rush of finishing my thesis, I decided to book some time off at the end of the summer. Luckily, Melissa, one of my best friends that I met in Vancouver, was able to come in for a visit. Melissa is also from Ontario, so we decided to spend a few days camping at Algonquin Provincial Park. 

We decided to camp at the Achray Campgrounds, which was the closest site to Ottawa. The weather was very cool for the time of year, but we had a relaxing vacation. Our campsite was a quick walk from the lakeside beach, and we managed to hike the scenic Barron Canyon. 

It was wonderful. We spent our free time relaxing on the beach during the day and listening to loons at night. We also took a quick hike to see the spot where Tom Thomson sketched his famous The Jack Pine painting in 1916. Many reading this blog might not know who Tom Thomson was, but in Canadian art history, he is celebrated as one of the best Canadian painters and an unofficial member of the Group of Seven. He loved visiting Algonquin Park, and it inspired many of his paintings.

Although the original tree is gone, we enjoyed this special spot in history. After reading up on the painting, we realized that the original could be found at the National Art Gallery in Ottawa. So, after an enjoyable weekend of camping, we decided to see the painting in person. In a section of the museum dedicated to the Group of Seven, we found Tom Thomson’s The Jack Pine

  1. Dear fans of football matches
    Like me, you probably bet on football matches and probably haven’t become lotto millionaires
    or at least successful players yet.
    If this is the case, then my proposal is extremely suitable for you!

    It comes down to this: I offer to teach you the art of football betting to
    multiply your chances of success with your bets.

    Betting is the art of making the right choices and therefore it is critical to be able to avoid the pitfalls
    in it.
    The system I offer you requires that you possibly maintain your databases from
    which you draw information for your final betting choice using the linear regression made according to my algorithm.

    This is a highly accurate system that guarantees incredible Swarm on a monthly and yearly
    basis!
    If you are busy and don’t care about maintaining your databases, which is really time-consuming and partly difficult to apply in our
    busy life, I offer you a second option, namely to use ready-made
    results from sites like “int.soccerway.com “, which you will then double-check: once the so-called “fair odds ratios”
    will be determined, and then you will do a second control analysis using
    my kind of linear regression.
    This is a fairly quick way to determine your favorite matches to bet on, but it does not have the determination of the advance reliability of the predictions as in option #1, but still has its
    familiarity of over 65% as an average result
    for the various football championships.
    Thank you for your attention

  2. Heya excellent blog! Does running a blog similar to this require a large amount of work?

    I have absolutely no knowledge of programming but I was
    hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow, if
    you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please
    share. I know this is off topic but I simply had to ask.

    Thank you!

  5. The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a thirty
    foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now
    broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had
    to share it with someone!
