We spent <b>9</b> days in <b>Kouchibouguac</b> <b>NP</b> in <b>2019</b> and we were able to hike all (but one) of the trails and cycle most of the paths; this is a wonderful park for both those activities.

I felt it was worth documenting how it's sometimes done from an anchored live-aboard; where the divers swim back to the boat.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: georgia;">In our case, divers enter the water from the port side (an 8’ leap & drop), follow a tag line to the bow and collect as a group at the anchor line, then descend as a group for the dive. Divers then re-enter at the stern after first completing a 3 min safety stop starting at the bow anchor line. About 2 minutes of the s-stop is completed at the bow line first, followed by an underwater swim for the final 1 minute of the s-stop and then a climb at the stern ladders. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: georgia;"><b>What can be challenging for a diver is the safety stop segment</b> - current at the 15' mark for 2 minutes of the s-stop can be quite strong, making holding on securely to the anchor line mandatory in some cases. Divers then leave the line and swim towards the boat at that same depth for another minute to reach weighted drop lines and a rear tag line that floats out from the stern ladders. Once at the tag line divers remove their fins and pull themselves forward to the ladders, hand their fins up to a waiting crew member and climb a ladder - some divers could chose to remove their BCD's at this point; none of our group did. (<u>Note</u>: At the surface, a partially full tank, BCD and all attached gear could weigh as much as 5 - 35 kgs (20 - 80 lbs)) </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: georgia;">The boat is only anchored at the bow so it tends to swing in both directions, sometimes quickly. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">That final 1 minute is essentially ... a swim into current chasing a hull that's moving. Divers burn through a lot of air and it an be exhausting.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwGj-OQQ3nivk5bOTZ-xEGlWO3voGv4i94bm8ZqkmHQYTdiMhhx3c0SZh9BoMeatoQrDPTBFU3SJhBgwT9bRA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: georgia;"><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Video courtesy <b>MHSpeights</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Video of my <b>Entry </b>... right onto the tag-line.

We've eaten in roadside cafes, roadhouses, pizza joints and higher end eateries and restaurants. We've had very few disappointing meals. <b>Icelanders</b> really know how to prepare and serve up breads, soups, butter, skyr, arctic char, salmon, trout, lamb. <a href="https://nicelandseafood.com/farm-raised-char/"><b>Matorka Farms</b></a> in particular, is worth mentioning here because of their environmentally friendly and innovative programn for farm raised <b>Arctic Char</b>. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There seems to be a short supply of fruits in some regions; we were offered very few berries and limited citrus, mostly just a couple of different melon varieties and bananas. I had one of the best takes ever on a '<i>caprese salad</i>' here in <b>Rekyjavik</b>. A variety of cheeses is also not often offered; however the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrata"><b>burrata</b></a> cheese used in a number of traditional <b>Icelandic </b>dishes is certainly worth trying if you can find it offered on a menu.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffd966;"> _______________</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>If You Come to</b> </span><span style="color: #ffd966; font-family: Iceland; font-size: x-large;">ICELAND</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We want to extend our appreciation to the <a href="https://iceland.nordicvisitor.com/"><b>Nordic Visitor</b></a> travel service and in particular to <b>Margrét</b>, who was extremely helpful and very quickly answered any questions we had.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Right up front ... the <b>only</b> negative we found, was that ... <i>everything is very expensive here. </i>Other than that, you will meet friendly and helpful <b>Icelanders</b>, experience some of the most rugged and scenic landscape on the planet, all in an environmentally conscious and very clean country.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We were here for <b>3 </b>weeks in <b>September</b>; a time of year when the country can experience a lot of rainfall; however we didn't have much and the little we did, didn't affect our daily travel plans.

We've been in cities, towns and villages - on paved and gravel roads - in urban, rural and remote regions of this country and it's extremely clean ... everywhere. Peoples yards and properties are neat, tidy and orderly. There are some fast food restaurants in the larger cities, but many of the <a href="https://grapevine.is/mag/articles/2019/03/06/broken-chains-the-struggles-of-foreign-fast-food-in-iceland/">large international franchises</a> are not present; <b>McDonalds </b>was, but is no longer. People don't eat in their cars and dispose of their food waste and other garbage by throwing it from the car window, as it's done all over <b>North America</b>. And, very little graffitti also; we saw a couple of old, abandoned barns away off in fields with some and a few older (destined for renovation) buildings in <b>Rekjavik</b>; that's it.

It's interesting to note that very few roads show signs of ongoing repair to the surface ... no crumbled shoulders, large patches of replaced pavement, spot tarring etc. In comparison, our roads at the same latitudes in <b>Canada</b>, are prone to the same frost-heaving conditions and are also constructed high above the perma-frost, yet suffer from on-going annual repair and replacement ... what gives?

In the case of <b>Strokkur</b>, this comes from the second largest glacier in the country, <a href="https://guidetoiceland.is/travel-iceland/drive/langjokull" style="box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: none;">Langjökull</a>. </p><p dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>Finally</b>, you need a complex plumbing system that allows a geyser to erupt, rather than just steam from the ground like a fumarole. Above the intense heat source, there must be space for the flowing water to gather like a reservoir. From this basin, there must be a vent to the surface. This vent must be lined with silica so that the boiling, rising water cannot escape before the eruption.</p></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTeq33j3PiAmUnhmw8CTGVQM_92mo44pMilcCA35n1G5-xTN0aGeNlHxCPybGG35ihYmVb8q0ZBK8tCk3am2-SANXBOrbA2n2-UEn7jn4g9_VDKcwsEECGZfeVyEBpA3H-aeYXRh8sNCEEhxdgDLCX_KKMYNwXjSH0NbM0NwCD8wBlIZnCyA5QVlg/s1620/IMG_0310%20(Large).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1620" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTeq33j3PiAmUnhmw8CTGVQM_92mo44pMilcCA35n1G5-xTN0aGeNlHxCPybGG35ihYmVb8q0ZBK8tCk3am2-SANXBOrbA2n2-UEn7jn4g9_VDKcwsEECGZfeVyEBpA3H-aeYXRh8sNCEEhxdgDLCX_KKMYNwXjSH0NbM0NwCD8wBlIZnCyA5QVlg/w426-h640/IMG_0310%20(Large).JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRXkevEMW2aiqBNfpvwodWnRXUrKmaveqyrW3BfjIDSCB5oUx9vnb-wQuLEnusoZ6AqnUGsE43TBQYuxm6VvjV7xZ_tZZ6RkAJ1FE6C5YiZ-pd2Vy9RUFtn5HZGsFabfAlHNQVPkv7AoAUQ6YB_h07M0T2JhdzpGspSKNrgrlpLeDy4RSnqIOrHns/s1620/IMG_0312%20(Large).JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1620" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRXkevEMW2aiqBNfpvwodWnRXUrKmaveqyrW3BfjIDSCB5oUx9vnb-wQuLEnusoZ6AqnUGsE43TBQYuxm6VvjV7xZ_tZZ6RkAJ1FE6C5YiZ-pd2Vy9RUFtn5HZGsFabfAlHNQVPkv7AoAUQ6YB_h07M0T2JhdzpGspSKNrgrlpLeDy4RSnqIOrHns/w426-h640/IMG_0312%20(Large).JPG" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">The above <b>3</b>-photo sequence took less than <b>15</b> seconds</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB9eTq7CII2O8imXzM7seFnJNbYMqlPb1qzwvdzx7QfxpNeNAqKMuaZ_ed6-QJwnff3lgK46NdKHPgmhaHyp7jEc_KpMvwjx23mLWOZYDnHXPgw7dilJTYowM4ZPPXOBToBsum6I5TFSyq2-L_MQ4olgsrt1LbhtR6CpXWrdb-aI911NdgdoBXvaY/s955/IMG_0320%20(Large).JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="851" data-original-width="955" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB9eTq7CII2O8imXzM7seFnJNbYMqlPb1qzwvdzx7QfxpNeNAqKMuaZ_ed6-QJwnff3lgK46NdKHPgmhaHyp7jEc_KpMvwjx23mLWOZYDnHXPgw7dilJTYowM4ZPPXOBToBsum6I5TFSyq2-L_MQ4olgsrt1LbhtR6CpXWrdb-aI911NdgdoBXvaY/w640-h570/IMG_0320%20(Large).JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://guidetoiceland.is/travel-iceland/drive/gullfoss">Gullfoss</a></span></b><span style="font-family: georgia;"> waterfall<br /><br /><p dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Because of the waterfall’s <b>two</b> stages, <b>Gullfoss </b>should actually be thought of as <b>two </b>separate features.

More than <b>100</b> offer vehicle camping, many are backcountry only (canoe tripping, backpacking) and some are non operating.

The phenomenon brings to mind an underwater blizzard with billions of colorful flakes cascading in white, yellow, red, and orange.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">In ways that scientists still do not fully understand, mature corals release their gametes all at the same time. This synchrony is crucial, because the gametes of most coral species are viable for only a few hours. The “blizzard” makes it more likely that fertilization will occur. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The gametes, full of fatty substances called lipids, rise slowly to the ocean surface, where the process of fertilization begins.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">When a coral egg and sperm join together as an embryo, they develop into a coral larva, called a planula. Planulae float in the ocean, some for days and some for weeks, before dropping to the ocean floor. Then, depending on seafloor conditions, the planulae may attach to the substrate and grow into a new coral colony at the slow rate of about .4 inches a year. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Source: NOAA)</span></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-McZbM_kDUkLCXdwrqAqweziMUfSu2tjZcqXAV4bA_xjCd3YdtCFqO8E_QJyzoib07DuI5HpYuqh4rbS0tdmEkytlt7Pkca3M--PRdCYqxGJicDRpGhFCEmi80BSzS1LZimkx8hzqDjGrJ5rWLY7HB3jvN8eUijnEH4VRk1cWG8vOptxopEBj_8/s1280/c80f9d_0388ac132be34e66bfd54d0fd032a7f6_mv2.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="1280" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-McZbM_kDUkLCXdwrqAqweziMUfSu2tjZcqXAV4bA_xjCd3YdtCFqO8E_QJyzoib07DuI5HpYuqh4rbS0tdmEkytlt7Pkca3M--PRdCYqxGJicDRpGhFCEmi80BSzS1LZimkx8hzqDjGrJ5rWLY7HB3jvN8eUijnEH4VRk1cWG8vOptxopEBj_8/w640-h300/c80f9d_0388ac132be34e66bfd54d0fd032a7f6_mv2.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_ray" style="font-weight: bold;">Eagle Ray</a> hunting</span> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(stock photo)<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Even though this is <b>not</b> a photo from our diving session, I felt it needed to be included.<br /><br />It's unusual to witness this event and we were quite fortunate; this is only the second time I have seen this. We had 2 of the rays near us for maybe 8-10 minutes near the end of our dive and up to the start of our ascent. The larger of the two had a wing span of nearly 6 feet. They cruise close to the sandy bottom and use their snouts like shovels to pound the sandy bottom and excavate unfortunate creatures (usually conch). They bite down and shatter the shells, pieces of debris escape their jaws and an audience of smaller fishes quickly collect the morsels. A privelage to watch.</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijndHwEUvjGR0wtGScmFpSZNlM3nDxvFpxnpHzRd7JdOW26e4gffj6Ai8wTi1SuposmFouhYRjicQEvROn8-S4G48Eo9Wd2sD5y51q4ICxiM70ZKOxwGEkJj2NRMrECZ8inHx9sjfcvj32QvrYBNYqVkbXVwesNM2TrbbX_KLpzLB7rot6Kz4W4xU/s2048/277739483_10159137912288778_8942074484315185856_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

There are few facilities to allow visitors a chance to experience the solitude and beauty of its undisturbed natural setting. It has a number of hiking trails and canoe-in back-country camping. The canoe routes include well maintained portages between lakes. The campground includes six heated yurts which have electric lighting, a power outlet, a propane barbecue and bunk beds. Situated on the north shore of Georgian Bay in the municipality of Killarney, the park straddles the La Cloche range, large rounded white quartzite hills that dominate the landscape. The white peaks and cliffs contrast with the pine and hardwood forests and the boggy lowlands that surround the park's many lakes. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Source: Ontario Parks)</span></p><p style="font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-size: medium;">At Camp ...</span></p><p style="font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-family: georgia; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgKAprgvAj78fE68lm8QTJMlnr4OHRazYhoWyP3FLhgGSBd4UP9Z3rWE1vnQtJi7XEw2QuJz3BrHfK6Kq7I5iFABldKallEx97ab0jvTl1_FH7yzHjul_4w39ElY9-FUKZS0t1yULB00NMDznVpaaaRYZmyM_1FMIRJ7jXFT0PZ7D9TRuvyceg35u4=s1440" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgKAprgvAj78fE68lm8QTJMlnr4OHRazYhoWyP3FLhgGSBd4UP9Z3rWE1vnQtJi7XEw2QuJz3BrHfK6Kq7I5iFABldKallEx97ab0jvTl1_FH7yzHjul_4w39ElY9-FUKZS0t1yULB00NMDznVpaaaRYZmyM_1FMIRJ7jXFT0PZ7D9TRuvyceg35u4=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td><td class="tr-caption"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One or both of us, has been here several times before.

After about 1/2 and hour in the heavy rains resumed ... we high-tailed it back to camp!</p><p><u>Description</u>: Although this trail takes up to 10 days to do in its entirety, hikers can take shorter trips starting from two trailheads in George Lake Campground. (Day hikers should leave sufficient time to retrace their steps along the trail back to the campground.) The west section of this trail is moderate, heading to Acid and Lumsden lakes over rolling forested hills. It crosses small streams and rivers, occasionally following the rocky shores of small lakes. Keep on the lookout for wildlife or clues of their presence. <span>The east section of this trail heads uphill to the Crack, a ridge with a vista of rugged and scenic landscapes. Considered strenuous, this section passes through forests and wetlands and over rocky ridges. It takes 12 hours of steady hiking and you have to climb over large boulders to reach the top of the ridge. Do not try to reach the Crack unless you are in good shape and can get an early start.</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> (Source: Ontario Parks)</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The figures are painted on the rock with a mixture of powdered hematite and animal fats and are estimated to be 150–400 years old. The records are visual representations of both historical events and legendary figures. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selwyn_Dewdney">Selwyn Dewdney</a> was the first scholarly figure to discover the pictographs. The first written description of these pictographs was published in 1851 by American ethnologist, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft. As United States Indian agent in Sault Ste. Marie, he conducted extensive studies about the Ojibwe people, aided by his wife Jane Johnston Schoolcraft, who was half-Ojibwe and the daughter of a major fur trader in the city. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Source: Wikipedia)</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-size: medium;">____________</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-size: medium;">The Coastal Trail</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We had a couple of free hours before our campsite was available.

All are beachfront sites in the tenting area - we're able to drycamp, it's quieter and more private. We've had a mix of weather on this trip so far; sunny, overcast or rain but always warm. After speaking with the Park Warden; apparently our weather here has been somewhat unusual for this time of year. Last year around the same date ... a major storm front moved in and the 'rollers' coming off the lake were so intense it forced all the tenters to abandon their sites and relocate to higher ground and further back in the campground.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjbZ8PEdy6196MUkcp70M-3d-i-QFHQeRi7DxoG5ZxCyB4pbcGXWNMfJa9oRKiTnGlEwnJaopu8QqqaatCDUgVX7DWJ5yjue1u_le0ML1C_4SxepB5IcwEeChXz6vyCz-XI5mrcRvBfDag88b1wDXFmZNdD_GchCSjz02CjyqYIkhy8VYRtv8yFY14=s1407" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="808" data-original-width="1407" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjbZ8PEdy6196MUkcp70M-3d-i-QFHQeRi7DxoG5ZxCyB4pbcGXWNMfJa9oRKiTnGlEwnJaopu8QqqaatCDUgVX7DWJ5yjue1u_le0ML1C_4SxepB5IcwEeChXz6vyCz-XI5mrcRvBfDag88b1wDXFmZNdD_GchCSjz02CjyqYIkhy8VYRtv8yFY14=w660-h416" width="660" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Contemplation</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpaQptPEvFMjrBY2eQjd3S1IB35dSba8qlsVrfVp5fyxF-lABxvG26BzCjgN38pRpsPZ1gqyNaNpMJyOEdRvOu67NSUoeEmBYo03C9n7AUQ74R8ny5Nr_zyEq4VGKc1yctM6hvweYhNe3J36xcCI0LTplgQN5hbQyiEC8QcWsr1ZmoCi8b1sUwNA4=s1328" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="745" data-original-width="1328" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpaQptPEvFMjrBY2eQjd3S1IB35dSba8qlsVrfVp5fyxF-lABxvG26BzCjgN38pRpsPZ1gqyNaNpMJyOEdRvOu67NSUoeEmBYo03C9n7AUQ74R8ny5Nr_zyEq4VGKc1yctM6hvweYhNe3J36xcCI0LTplgQN5hbQyiEC8QcWsr1ZmoCi8b1sUwNA4=w640-h360" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">"Paddling irons the wrinkles from your soul"</span></i><span style="font-family: georgia;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">Anonymous</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhkKfr18kDfFjo0_bIvgF-ypdt_RMg8aqNGs2a227Ph90NWjz5SApc86UxAisQP7uEfVZDFm0HxIUUxPewZ4yiIlhTP7qEc2m0Gf7iHX0J4ntuoamXIVZvJmF78isW4sEJcy9vzpa8kbCwC86sn-N-gdKr3E76Amdfk7fCMZCnx3QGS_GK0Jxy5HU8=s1347" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="1347" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhkKfr18kDfFjo0_bIvgF-ypdt_RMg8aqNGs2a227Ph90NWjz5SApc86UxAisQP7uEfVZDFm0HxIUUxPewZ4yiIlhTP7qEc2m0Gf7iHX0J4ntuoamXIVZvJmF78isW4sEJcy9vzpa8kbCwC86sn-N-gdKr3E76Amdfk7fCMZCnx3QGS_GK0Jxy5HU8=w640-h370" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">__________</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Nokomis Trail </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><u><span style="font-size: medium;">Difficulty</span></u><span style="font-size: medium;">: <b>5.0</b> km loop </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Moderate to Difficult)</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We walked the trail in a counter-clockwise direction and were glad we did.

These man-made depressions are believed to be 2000 years old. A vigorous upward climb brings you to the first lookout. It offers an excellent view of the river valley and forests below. Travelling north along a granite ridge, you will hike to spectacular lookouts over Lake Superior. To the west is the Old Woman Bay cliff, rising 200 metres above Lake Superior. Look for the face of an old woman 'Nokomis', immortalized in the rock. The trail descends past a series of intermediate lookouts and enters a stand of red pine, stunted by the lack of soil and nutrients in the rocky area. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Source: MNR Ontario)</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This crossing would certainly be doable; given dry rocks, a hiking stick and good footwear.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimZ-GXkAanKBMl_atlwcGizkaeogPy2wktzZAmuGVKVkfQ44TJsgt4Nue_iZ1VGbGxgP7uy_HH6GOdxpW4Z1w4T3eric_L6v_fQ1pST5HZtrewQIa5qlCvT9JG8jH9Z1hkgF9MLHWnEu36Vd561dp9BhfGkGKgYorF_EJkH51FhbbakavZBan4nm4=s1322" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="991" data-original-width="1322" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimZ-GXkAanKBMl_atlwcGizkaeogPy2wktzZAmuGVKVkfQ44TJsgt4Nue_iZ1VGbGxgP7uy_HH6GOdxpW4Z1w4T3eric_L6v_fQ1pST5HZtrewQIa5qlCvT9JG8jH9Z1hkgF9MLHWnEu36Vd561dp9BhfGkGKgYorF_EJkH51FhbbakavZBan4nm4=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u>Description</u>: Short and scenic, the trail follows along it's namesake. The river is actually the site of a glacial spillway running northeasterly and eventually flowing into Lake Superior. Much of the trail is shaded by the forest canopy. Cedar trees favour the river banks where running water can saturate their root systems. A wide variety of ferns and moisture loving plants grow on the cool damp forest floor.</span> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Source: MNR Ontario)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The area supports a variety of wildlife such as: beaver, otter, marten, heron and moose. Originally, Rustle Lake was nothing more than a wide portion of a forest stream. Beavers then damned it and aquatic life grew into the shallow waters, forming a wetland. The abundance of fur-bearing animals resulted in the establishment of a trapline - licensed to the Renner brothers in the 1930's and active until the mid-1970's. Trapper's Trail is only a small portion of their former trapline which extended along the Baldhead River to Lake Superior.</span> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Source: MNR Ontario)</span></span></div><div><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Marie, Ontario, Canada. A 5.5-kilometre (3.4 mi) sand beach lines the bay of which 3.5 km are within the park boundary. The bay is sand filled and shallow, which helps to warm the lake. Ancient beach ridges are visible more inland. The ecology of the region is characteristic of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence transition forest, but is a northern shelter for more southerly flora and fauna. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">The region is home to a number of regionally rare and vulnerable species, including Braun's holly fern, maidenhair spleenwort, sand reed and the majestic peregrine falcon. <span style="font-size: x-small;"> (Source: Wikipedia)</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: georgia;">Along the trails ...</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><u>Pancake Bay Nature Trail</u> – <span style="font-size: medium;"><b>3.5</b></span> km <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Easy)</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The trail begins along the dramatic Lake Superior shoreline, takes you over forested ancient beach ridges, through a fascinating wetland and then ends along a shallow meandering creek.
