EGL Winter Backcountry - Feb 2020 (7th - 9th?)
Open invitation to anyone interested in some cold weather hammocking.
Where: Last year we had a hum-dinger of a time cold hanging just off of the Sunday Lake Dogsledding Trail in Algonquin Park, but we were fortunate not to be post-holing along their trail. For my part, I'm perfectly happy returning to more familiar areas (Niger, Algonquin, Kawartha Highlands) or trying to find some new, scenic and preferably Crown spots. Throw in those ideas. Snowmobile trailheads might be worth a look. Depending on where we're going, carpooling might be a sensible option as parking can be tight in places.
When: Last year we went around the second weekend of February and that worked out pretty well. I'm game to throw down the proposition that we make it easy on everyone and say that going forward, the second weekends of January and February get penciled in as EGL Valens and Backcountry weekends respectively. Even I can remember that! That makes it Feb 7th-9th this year. We can shift it back a week and go on the Family Day weekend, but that's a good time to spend with, well, family.
