Ice was outCanoing #CanoeCamping #OntarioParks #KawarthaHighlandstill COLD!

Took it slow and kept close to shore as my brother is not the most comfortable in a canoe and neither of us wanted an upset.

Got to a beautiful campsite and posted up. Some winter campers had left a snow stake and some bucked firewood. Still wet but saved much work!

The wind was cold and there was snow at times. Wore most of my clothing to bed each night!

The trade off to the cold? No flying bugs! My brother did get a tick, and we used a tick key to get it out. TIL that ticks are active above 2c and since there were no flying bugs, we didn't bug spray up for a hike up to the lookout.

All in all, good first 2 night trip of the season and looking forward to more!
