Sara and I spent the weekend camping at Bon Echo Provincial Park, about two hours from where we live. Bon Echo = Good Echo in English and is a huge rock which the park is named after. The rock is accessible by water (Lake Mazinaw) so we kayaked across and then hiked up - here I am sitting at the top. The weather was perfect and the Autumn colours absolutely stunning. It got cold at night (below zero!) but we stayed nice and warm and even had to take blankets off - a nice problem, after our freezing camping trip in Algonquin last year!
A lovely little lagoon off Lake Mazinaw in the camp ground.
Sara and I in our double kayak. We rented it for 4 hours and spent most of that time out on the lake, it was beautiful, but tiring!
Kayaking around the base of Bon Echo rock looking for the ancient Native Pictographs. It was hard to spot them at first; I think or expectations were set a bit high - I envisioned huge stick figures dancing around fires but in reality they were a little more subtle...
Here are some here - quite comparable to modern art, wouldn't you say? Wow, we've come a lonog way. :)
