Algonquin Spring 2016 Canoe Camping Trip Day 2: Grassy Bay to Catfish Lake?

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

myselfreliance Day 2 of my 2016 solo canoe trip. Can I make it from Grassy Bay to Snowshoe Rapids or Catfish Lake today? What a morning! As usual, I woke up around 5: 00 and got a fire going to make a cup of hot chocolate a cup of oatmeal while watching the breath-taking sunrise. If the still water, amazing colours from the sun and the cacophony of birds wasnt enough, a family of six river otters paid me a visit, whistling and barking at me in curiosity, no doubt surprised at what was probably the first human theyve seen this year. I was on the water well before 8: 00 am this morning since I had a lot of ground to cover. I knew the weather was supposed to change for the worse today, and I wanted to get past the big lakes of White Trout, Big Trout and Burntroot before the wind picked up if I could. Problem was, between the beautiful scenery and excellent fishing, it was after noon by the time I reached the far side of Red Pine Bay. By that time, the clouds had really rolled in and I could hear the wind rattling through the bare branches of the trees on the high hills surrounding the lakes

Hi Shawn: Looks like you've come smack bang in the face of the reality of a multi day canoe trip. However this should not diminish in any way the joy & beauty of what you are doing. Brian nearing 76
