Beausoleil Island cabin trip

Killbear Provincial Park
This trip was actually last weekend, so I’m now pretty much caught up with posting photos.
Northern Skies Outpost Cabin
Three days at a cabin on Frobel Lake with my friend Diane, and my first time in Northern Ontario!
Toronto in September
One Sunday last month I took a bus trip to Toronto to meet my friend, Diane. We both scored cool old books at a U of T book sale (part of the Word on the Street festival) and then had pie at a dessert shop. There are no pictures of the hanji shop we wandered into, but it was awesome, too.
Ecolodging
When my library school friend, Diane, invited me on a trip to ‘Ecolodge’ just outside Algonquin Park, I jumped at the chance to spend three consecutive days out of range of phone and internet. The lakeside lodge is completely off-the-grid, powered by its own micro-hydro construction along a waterfall. The property was once part of a logging mill, but the trails are now used by snowshoers and cross-country skiers. Even lazy me snowshoed around on a -20C morning!
Not shown in the photos below:
- playing pictionary with an iPhone timer
- eating oatmeal and other yummy lodge meals
- sipping wine, scotch, brandy
- reading by the woodstove in the (still chilly) lounge
- dipping half my leg into the icy hole in the lake after the hot tub
- watching the wolves
- hiding behind Diane while she conversed with strangers
