Last year I had the idea of undertaking a canoeing journey from one end of Algonquin Park to the other. I discussed this idea with a few people and amazingly enough, one friend, Mr. B., expressed an interest in undertaking the journey with me.
In August of this year that dream became a reality. With the help of a few friends, who muscled cars back and forth as well as provided us with moral support, Mr. B. and I left Kiosk on the northern end of the park and ten days later arrived at the Shall Lake access point in the southern end of the park.
The journey, entitled the Epic Algonquin Canoe Trip (EACT), proved to be more of an odyssey than I could have imagined when planning the trip. The portages were longer and harder than I had thought and the paddling was primarily into a strong headwind every single day.
In the end we prevailed, as opposed to enjoying the trip, and our achievement has been documented in the following videos.
