Jordon has posted about our planned expedition to Grey Owl’s Cabin on his blog.  To be honest I wasn’t totally thrilled with the idea.  A 40 km back country hike is well out of my comfort zone but as I checked out some video, read about other people’s hike and basically got over my own fear of the unknown, I started to get excited about the idea.

We are going up in mid-June with the idea of getting out there early and making camp at the Northend campground before pushing on to Grey Owl’s Cabin that afternoon.  While it could be hot, I have full confidence in Kingsmere Lake providing all of the chill that I need to cool off and stay hydrated.

Now we need to get the gear for the trip and start getting in shape to handle the walk.  Walking for 6-8 hours makes for a long day and of course for most of that time I am carrying a full pack.   Here is description of the trip.

The good news is that I went out and bought some shorts, top, and even a new summer jacket.  I may die on the trail but I will look good.  I am looking forward to it.  Who knows, maybe the Boreal Trail is in our future.
