EP. 16 | Solo two-night trip to conquer the Long Lake section of the Kawartha Highlands | BUG-FEST!

It’s bug season.
But it’s also camping season.
And if you don’t camp because of the bugs, then you're letting the bugs win!
Back to the Kawartha Highlands we go! 3 days/2 nights, 25km loop starting off at the Long Lake access point. This was the trip I had planned for April, and I’m glad I was able to score the reservations for this time of the year.
Mode of Transport: SUP
Weather: scattered thunderstorms
Bug level: apocalypse
Say it with me…THE BUGS WILL NOT WIN!! THE BUGS WILL NOT WIN!!
