Algonquin Park 2012 - Day One

Last week Andrea and I - along with a couple of friends - took a long weekend for a canoe-camping trip in Algonquin Park. On day one we set off from the Portage Store on Canoe Lake headed for Tom Thomson Lake; via Joe Lake, Teepee Lake, the Little Oxtongue River, and Littledoe Lake - altogether about 12 km.
