Day 1
Left Arnprior about 3:30 pm. Arrived at Bon Echo at 5:00. Our campsite for night one was a walk-in site in the Hardwood Hill Campground (site # 415). Mosquitoes were out and Casey felt they were "bad", but she didn't bring pants. Life lesson I guess.
Set-up camp; tent and sleeping gear. Started a fire and ate our dinner, which consisted of the finest canned goods (Zoodles) and desert (good ol' Snack Pack puddin' - chocolate).
We sat and watched the fire and sunset between the trees and headed off to bed at 9:30 pm. Slept in just our bag liners until 11:30 pm when it got cold. Both Casey and I got into our sleeping bags and enjoyed the warmth of our first nights slumber.
Day 2
Up at 5:30 am. I was just to exited to stay in bed any more. Casey slept. Started an early morning fire to get things going and took a few shots of the sun coming up; again through the trees. Made myself a coffee and let Casey sleep a little.
Casey awoke at 7:00 and we had instant oatmeal for breakfast and granola bars. Tang to wash it down. After breakfast we broke camp and we were off for our hike along a portion the Abes & Essens Trail. We planned on checking out the first few campsites at Essens Lake for future trips.
Well done!
