Camping at Frontenac Park

I'm getting excited. Friday morning, D., Cassie and I are heading out to Frontenac Provincial Park for two nights. It's my first foray into backcountry camping - we can't drive up to the campsite, we hike to it. Our lakeside campsite is about a half hour hike from the car which suits a beginner like me just fine. The weather forecast seems reasonable with highs in the mid-twenties, 40% chance of showers on Friday and even less for Saturday.

Tomorrow we visit Mountain Equipment Co-op for some last-minute supplies: camping dishes & utensils for myself, a bear bell for Cassie (thanks to Sis and Bro-in-Law's foresight and thoughtfulness, D. and I each have one already) and a few packs of freeze-dried camp food. Mmmm.

I look forward to immersing myself into Mother Nature's glory for a few days. I just hope she'll keep the bears away.
