More and more it's getting harder to avoid spiralling out into the Internet, picking up nuggets of useless, amusing or bizare information. Here are some of the things I come across, as well as site updates and information on my doings for those who may be interested.
Winter camping in the interior of Algonquin Park.
Just back from a great trip into Algonquin Park, three nights hot tenting on Head Lake. The weather was great and we made several day trips around the area. A full trip report will be coming in the near future.

Google must be running out of places to map.
I live in a small town several hours north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I would put the number of people that don't know what Google is at about 25%, yet here's Google Street View'ing my town! I can hardly wait to look myself up on Street View. Sorry about the bad photo, had to use my Treo.

The Ultimate Camping Sleep.
I picked up a couple of Hennessy Hammocks over the winter when they had a great buy one get free one deal. I used it for the first time on a recent trip to Craig Lake and loved it. It's quick and easy to setup and very comfortable. I found there was some adjusting to get used to trying to get into a sleeping bag in a hammock but overall this is a great product.
