None-the-less, I'm saddened that I have not kept up with this blog and perhaps will try to recreate some of the trips I have been on since 2009.
That said, I recently completed a three day solo trip to Massasauga Park. Leaving on Sunday, August 9th, I enjoyed a wonderful trip complete with spectacular sunsets.
On my first night, site #23, I met up with the local snapping turtle (which many sites seem to have) and was able to obtain several underwater close up shots. It was a bit scary with my fingers dangling so close but the pictures are worth it.
Later that night I was out fishing and got to talking to two women at site #22 who lamented that they had wanted to catch, kill and eat a fish without the help of A MAN (their words) but they hadn't been able to catch a single fish and were forced on a diet of rice and smarties. I wished them luck and about 10 minutes later returned with a good sized pike. I apologized that I had caught it but offered them the chance to at least kill and eat it. A long story short - I was asked to not only kill it but fillet it as well. ??? women ???
The next day I moved to site #28 and along the way was able to catch my own lunch, another good sized pike. Basically it was a lazy day as the weather was warm and sunny. I did some more fishing
(no luck) and then watched the evening sky.
The next day I packed up and though originally scheduled to stay on site #1, I chose to leave the park as thunderstorms were beginning in the area and the forecast was for rain all that night. A video of my journey can be found at the following link ... https://youtu.be/cyZ6FfRIiCQ
