Algonquin Park: Escaping the Bugocalypse

[Algonquin lakes]

Hi All,

Part two of my recent trip down through some of the lakes around the Kiosk access point (and also through the swarms of bugs living around the Kiosk access point at the time) is now up over at All of Algonquin.

Hope your Canada Day has some paddling in store for you.

Nice trip report and lots of great pics. It will save me time when I write mine.

I started 14th of June out at AP 1 and paddled up to Kiosk but I turned east into Rat Trap on Maple when you continued north.

Your pics added a lot for my wife.

If you think packing in a 2 foot wide tent I screwed up and brought a Hammock. I couldn't dress fully in it so when I rolled out to put my pants on I instantly saw my legs change color with bugs. I should have had a tent.

Goddamned bugs.

Nice report, too bad the bugs were so terrible! I liked your video and the Kettlewell paddle, excellent! Man I am glad on my trip the bugs were so much more tolerable.

Good on ya! Great pics,

Bob

Thanks Bob, The day I found out Ray was retiring was the saddest day of my paddling life. I absolutely love those paddles.
