This years ice out trip ended up as a Father son trip with my son Aydan and Greg with his son Taylor.
We had four cold nights and five days of unpredictable weather. Good food lots of laughs and we all managed to catch brook trout🎣
Thanks to Greg and Taylor for persevering through the tough portages working our way through the Panhandle making our 40 km trip a memorable experience for all of us👍

Winter still hasn’t decided to fizzle into spring!!
Still lots of snow and ice on the trees after last week’s ice storm.
Beauty and destruction all around!!
Always rewarding spending time in the bush.

Hopefully everyone enjoyed the Family Day Weekend. Yesterday was a beautiful day to visit one of our favorite places. It’s always amazing how you can visit a place at different times of the year and be presented a whole different perspective. We spotted Chaga, otter slides near the open water and the remains of a poor grouse that met its fate😌
Do you have a favorite place that you visit at different times of year??

Third annual snow shoe with Hike Haliburton was another great success. It was another cold day but the sun was shining and everyone had a great appreciation for snow shoeing on fresh untouched snow. Lots of deep snow,
Hot Chaga Tea and delicious cookies donated by Sydney Little of Sydney’s Baking.
More adventures to come for the 2026 season.

Winter has hit in full force this year, lots of snow, cold temperatures and new adventures. There is something special about being in the bush during the winter months, pristine beauty everywhere.
