Well it wasn't an ice-out trip, so I'm calling it Covid-out. No? It'll grow on you.
This was a quick two-nighter into McIntosh a few days after the interior opened. I was hoping for few bugs but expected the bugocalypse, and took a Eureka NoBugZone in with me as a result. As it turned out I barely used it - my site on McIntosh was virtually bug-free, and I had a peaceful and relaxing time. New kayak, new camera, and yet no problems to report - even the Tom Thomson/Ink portage felt easy.
Hope you enjoy it!

How was the site? There was so much garbage (paddles, cart wheels, etc.) when I visited it last September.
Seems to be a pretty good year with bugs based on all the trip reports I've seen so far.

I didn’t notice any garbage, so it may have been cleaned up. Or I was just oblivious, which is also possible! It’s clearly a well used site - finding firewood took me a while.

You know what they say: Happy husband, happy... no wait, that's not the saying. But my wife understands my obsession with Algonquin, and is always supportive when I'm planning a trip.
I'll be in the midst of a 10-day solo on our anniversary ;).

Wow, Canoe Lake all on your own, must have been early. I hope you were able to stay awake for Birthday dinner when you got home.

It was about 9:30 I think, so I may have beaten the Friday crowds. I passed one couple on Canoe Lake, but otherwise yeah, it was empty. There were certainly a lot more cars in the parking lot when I came out than when I headed in.
I was home in time for brunch!
