Unnamed lake in the Forgotten Lands Ontario Canada
The 'Forgotten Lands' is an area in central Ontario Canada that is bordered by Haliburton, Peterborough and Minden. This was once land that was given to early settlers to Canada. Upon arriving from Europe the settlers painfully discovered their promised rich farm land was actually dense trees and granite from the Canadian Shield. Virtually unfarmable the area was abandoned and left for logging. The remains of early homesteads can still be found in lonely rocky areas here.

In camp everyone has a job. Here is Tuula and Kiana on dish duty after lunch. This trip was a two day exploration of the area with my friend Tim and his daughter. We wanted to see what kind of access was available in this area.

There were no other people around this area. We literally had the entire lake to ourselves. The quite and tranquility of the area was breathtaking.

Dads and Daughters. This is the type of memory creating, self confidence building trips that I love. I hope everyone across Canada can get out to experience the gift of nature. I think because we live in it daily, we forget that most of the world can not experience this kind of back country.

Bathroom with a view. We had to set up our portable toilet somewhere. We found this secluded rock with a bowl shape that had one of the best views of the lake.

Tuula caught the biggest fish of the trip. Try as we might, the water was too hot to get the bass to bite. I'm not sure how she pulled it off, but this was certainty a nice fat bass.
