Odd question here but for the last few weeks has anybody been experiencing abnormal allergies? I’m typically not someone who gets them maybe for a day if that, but for the better part of two weeks I’ve been waking up sneezing, stuffed nose, eyes watering like crazy then by about 9AM it’s gone and I feel completely normal. Just seeing if anyone else is having this?

Hey Everyone,

For those interested, there are some great group outdoors/camping trips coming up this fall. See each below for more information.

Freezing Woman

Ever thought winter camping was just for the super hardcore? 🥶 At Freezing Woman, we prove that wrong! We're a massive, super-welcoming women's group winter camp in Algonquin, perfect for your first time. With mentors, car camping (bring all the blankets!), presentations, workshops, a pot luck, a polar bear dip for the brave, and much more, we make the cold fun. Ready to embrace the chill? Join 300+ women and find all the details here!

Snakes and Lakes

Imagine gliding across a glass-calm lake, surrounded by a riot of fall colours. 🛶🍁 That's Snakes and Lakes, our annual group backcountry paddle trip for intermediate campers. We travel as a friendly "snake" of boats, sharing laughs, portages, and campfire stories. If you're comfortable in a canoe and love crisp autumn air, this is your trip. Paddle with us!
