I get lost too. Thank God for Dave, he keeps me on track. Maybe it is because I know that he is following the compass or paying attention, I have become lazy. Or maybe like you, I get caught up in the scenery and the moment.

Love the idea of canoeing and camping, but I'm actually a bit scared about the prospect of getting lost in the wilderness. Put me on any road with a map and I never get lost. But put me in the woods and I turn sort of stupid. I have repeatedly wandered off main trails onto smaller forks that lead to nowhere and I once completely lost the Appalachian Trail (although I hear this latter is more common than one would think, as the AT is poorly marked). I think it's something about the beauty and energy of the forest and mountains. I just get caught up in it and go totally right-brain, and find i t impossible to engage the left brain, therefore I get lost! .-= Barbara Weibel´s last blog ..Tlacotalpan, Mexico – Rainbow Colors, River Shrimp, Riveting Conversation =-.

Thanks Nick. It was really great to see the moose. We encountered quite a few on that trip.

Algonquin Park looks lovely. Really like the pictures, esp. of the moose. Magnificent creatures, aren’t they. Sounds like a great trip. Had to read a bit to figure out the badge of honour-part, though.

Hi Todd. You are absolutely right and thank you for reiterating that Algonquin Park is accessible to anyone. Thank you for listing the guided canoe trips companies!

It’s a wonderful inspiring place for the adventurer. But Algonquin Park is also accessible to people who aren’t confident in their skills or don’t want to invest in equipment. Guided Algonquin Park canoe trips like Morning Tea with Moose or Wolf Howl Canoe trips offer adventurists at heart to experience Algonquin Park with a naturalist guide who can help uncover the mystery and magic of the park. Guides know where and when to paddle to spot wildlife and teach folks the art of paddling, portaging and enjoying backcountry fare that is far beyond ordinary.

Although, only a provincial Park, Algonquin is often listed among the top two most renowned NATIONAL parks in Canada. Quite a coup. Happy to call it home.

AHH! I haven’t been canoeing in years, this looks amazing. I love the practical information about preparations as well. Bear barrell? Never heard of it (hah, I wrote “beer” first…). Also, LOVE the video! So nice to see a Matadorian in the flesh. Sorta.

I agree with Nancy, this makes me want to take a canoe trip. I have to question Dave’s survival instinct that he slept so soundly after the bear visit I’m with you Deb, I would have been awake all night!

Hi Amy, you will be camping in the wilderness soon yourself I am sure. With all of the camping that you have done this summer:)

John, that is crazy that you almost stepped on a bear in Jasper. You are braver than I am. When we were in Alberta this summer, I actually thought about “how do people go for a run in this wilderness when it is filled with bears and wildcats!”

Thanks Nancy. Canoeing is a lot of fun eh? And the great thing about it is that it is just like riding a bike. So easy to pick back up.

Thanks Alouise, Algonquin Park is one of the best places in Ontario for sure.

Canada is an amazingly beautiful country. I don’t think I ever really appreciated it until I left. I am definitely proud to be Canadian!

I had several run ins with bears and elk while I was living in Jasper.

The closest encounter was when I was trail running and surprised a sleeping bear. I honestly almost stepped on it. Luckily it was more afraid then I was and just ran off.
