Well for anyone that's a member over at the Outdoor Recreation Group, I just posted a bunch of photos from Canoe trips in Algonquin Park on that group.
They are all under the album Algonquin Park, Canada.
For those of you who do not know about Algonquin Park in Ontario Canada here's a little information:
Algonquin Park is Ontario's oldest and largest provincial park. Easily accessible from major centers in eastern Canada and the U.S., the park is a canoeist's, camper's and naturalist's paradise.
Covering approximately 8000 square kilometers (3500 square miles) of rugged Canadian Shield country, the park is home to an abundant wildlife population, including moose, wolves and black bears. While many Algonquin visitors see moose, the latter two creatures are less common sights. During late August and into the fall, people who try howling for wolves are often rewarded with a mournful response from a nearby pack. Smaller mammals like otters, fox, chipmunks, squirrels and raccoons are common sights. Over 250 bird species have been recorded in Algonquin Park and everyone's favorite wilderness bird, the common loon, is found nesting on most lakes.
A canoe tripper could spend a lifetime exploring Algonquin Park. Over 1500 km of canoe routes follow lakes, streams and portage trails through the vast forested interior. Campsites and portages are marked and well maintained. Fly-ins are prohibited. Motor boats are restricted to a few lakes and road access to the park is limited to the Hwy. 60 "corridor" and peripheral access points. As a result, most of Algonquin Park is only accessible by canoe. Backpacking and day hiking trails allow travel on foot. In the winter the park is also open to travel by ski and snowshoe.

Thanks so much for the lovely comment on my new set!
