Steve's Camping Pages

Here you will find a few images taken by Gord Jeffroy or
myself in our wanderings through Algonquin Park.

(Please note that these images are copyright and may not be reproduced in any form without permission.)

A couple of candid photos of my friend Gord and myself doing what we like to do most.

Notice how well I keep that bridge from floating away!
(The bridge being part of the cart path near Hogan Lake, it's marked on the canoe map.)

(far right)
"Hey Mister! Got enough gear?"

I like to be prepared for everything.

Here's a couple shots from Big Crow's fire tower. One image is the tower itself, and the second is a view from the hill.

The MNR has had to remove most of the ladder from the tower, apparently it was too dangerous to continue to allow people to climb it. You'll have to settle for clifftop views of the lake.

Some of Algonquin's wildlife

The Red Squirrel, terror of the spruce! I remember being pelted with pine cones by one of these little buggers when I was portaging through his territory. They'll rob you blind if you let 'em, too.

And this is the obligatory moose picture. Everyone seems to take at least one of these when they go into the park. I think this one was taken on the Big Crow River.

The Little Things

The Throne! The most comfortable seat in the house.

Tiny mushrooms... The things you see if you stop and look.
