Our first go at a decent hike / camp is a couple days away!
We leave Friday morning (early) and drive to Algonquin Park, as we'll be hiking the second loop of the Western Uplands trail over three days.
The length of our trip will be a total of ~57km of hiking, the biggest day being the Saturday. We chose this because we wanted to "ease" into it on Friday, so we are only going to be doing ~14k or so and will set up camp and figure everything out with that! Also, the forecast for Saturday is looking to be the best of the three so we decided to make this our long day, and will go about 24km. The overall trip will be 3.8k longer than the loop itself as we have to hike a bit off the route to another lake where there were available camp sites. No big deal! The physical part is not our concern. All Saturday is going to be sunny and moderate temps, so I'm anticipating that to be a great day to really test as much stuff out as we can with the tent, cooking, water stuff etc etc etc. Like I said, we are BRAND new to this, so hopefully everything goes smoooothly! Sunday is looking to be rainy, so we may just get up and hike out as early as possible, or start making progress at least before the rain hits.
After the weekend I'll have some videos and pics to share!!
