Thanks for the kind words, Rob. (Sorry I took this topic off course )  PS Still remember our encounter many years ago, us hooking up on the Pet, with us going up and you going down to Farm lake. You still have that rope you forgot? smiley face)
for me, a more qualified "bucket list" item that I currently can't afford is for my brother and I to do a fly in, somewhere in the Canadian remoteness. Getting dropped off with a canoe and spending a week + w/out anything other than our camping gear, (not flyin cabin locations) and experiencing nothing other than wildlife and great fishing  

Temagami is the spot for you to try that! Did a fly in/canoe out in September. I swear half the fish up there had never seen a lure before.
It's only a few hours farther than Algonquin; quicker now that highway 11 is twinned most of the way now!

I used to make trip videos, and what killed it for me was how intrusive I found the filming itself. On the water in my kayak? No problem! Press record and carry on. But then I'd get to my campsite and just want to be there, in the moment, and instead I'd have to be thinking about the videos I had to take in order to be able to make a cohesive trip video months later. I grew to resent it, and it was really starting to hurt my enjoyment of being out there. Maybe that will come back around, you never know, but my first priority is to love my camping trips. 

Totally understand your sentiment here.
However, I really did enjoy your videos and miss seeing them!!
Maybe I'll hit up your youtube channel and rewatch some older ones

Sounds exciting!!!
Now that I'm old and half-crippled I really appreciate the front country trails. Adding a new one is great news!!
I look forward to being one of the early hikers on this new trail.
