It was time to explore a part of Algonquin that was new to me. I had never started a trip from the Smoke Lake access point. This was a quick weekend trip – only one portage to get to our destination. As you can tell from the photographs, we had a lot of rain mixed with some very dramatic skies. This was a very leisurely trip, mostly to get out in nature and spend some ‘father-son’ time together. It was one of the few times I did not film the trip, but did manage to take a few photographs.
