      Pukaskwa Nationalpark

      September 3, 2019 in Canada ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

      Schon zwei Tage nach Beginn der Antibiotika war Phillip wie ausgewechselt. Wir hatten wieder richtig Lust auf eine Wanderung und verbrachten den schönsten Tag seit langem. Pukaskwa Nationalpark könnten wir mit unserem Discovery-Pass kostenlos betreten. Wir suchten uns zwei Wanderwege aus, die entlang Sandstrand und durch den Herbstwald gingen. Die ersten Blaubeeren waren reif und ein willkommener Snack. Schöne Pilze sprossen überall. Einfach traumhaft!

      Weil wir uns verlaufen haben, entdeckten wir aus Zufall das Waschhaus des Campingplatzes, wo sich kostenlose Duschen befanden. Es war nichts los, also schnappten wir uns unser Duschzeug und ergaunerten uns eine Körperwäsche. Unsere Wasserbehälter konnten wir hier auch mit schmackhaftem, ungechlortem Wasser füllen. Wir fühlten uns wie Könige 🥰      Read more

      LAKE SUPERIOR

      September 7, 2017 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

      Tonight we are camping at Pukaskwa (pronounced "puck-a-saw") National Park on the North Shore of Lake Superior. The Group of Seven came here -- it is like a Lauren Harris painting.

      Weather today was sunny but cold. We hiked about 10 km on trails along the shore -- sandy beaches strewn with driftwood, rocky cliffs and coves -- lots of up and down. The water was perfectly clear and azure blue -- so lovely It was tempting to jump in. But it was icy cold. According to the park information Lake Superior is the "world's biggest natural refrigerator" and water temperature varies little between winter & summer.

      Another great dinner by the fire of vermicelli and tomato sauce with red wine. We watched a spectacular sunset into the lake. There is a possibility of frost tonight, but probably not here because the Lake, though cold, will keep the shore above zero for now. We will be snug in our winter bags and dogs will curl up in their nests in fur coats.      Read more

      Of Rocks and Bears

      June 16, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

      While driving to a waterfall today we saw a momma black bear and her three cubs on the side of the forest-lined road. They scampered off into the bush and climbed up a tree faster than a jack rabbit on a first date. Yet to see a moose except posted on highway signs as a “Night Danger”, and all manner of sculptures, T-shirts and the like.
      For rock enthusiasts, and I count myself in that group, Pebble Beach at Marathon is heaven. For centuries, Lake Superior has tumbled these stones into smooth, roundish rocks — hardly pebbles at all. So many rocks … that will have to wait for our return trip home.
      We rewarded our rock restraint with a San Pellegrino float. Sooo good.      Read more

      Forest Sounds

      June 16, 2023 in Canada ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

      Heard today on our 6-hour hike to the White River Suspension Bridge in Pukaskwa National Park … The murmur of a distant waterfall, the click clacking of our pole tips on centuries-old rock, the twittering of birds, the whisper of wind in the tree canopy, the cracking of birchbark sheaves underfoot, the growling behind me, the little yelp of hysteria jumping out of my throat … (to be continued)Read more
