So over a month ago I started a job working as a canoe tripping guide (yes, again) with Tim Horton Memorial Camp in Parry Sound. We started off by getting our certification as Wilderness First Responders. This was a crazy 80 hour course we did in 8 days. By the end of it we were resetting bones, giving injections and calling in helicopters and stuff. Ya, intense!
After that was over we did some other mundane 'precamp' stuff before leaving on our first of 2 staff training trips. I was put on a trip to cover the route we will later do with campers through Killarney Provincial Park including the climbing of Silver Peak. The weather was anything but co-operative raining every day and evening ending in a few flurries on the last day of the trip. Yes, flurries on May 31st. ... The scenery was alright but with the gray skies and imminent clouds that never seemed to go away my next trip Killarney can only be better. We did however see a lot of wildlife which must be attributed to the spring season. In total we saw 3 bears (1 on our campsite), 2 moose (+1 dead one), 2 otters and the abundant beavers and otters.
This was basically my uniform for 6 days... yuck. Grey skies didn't clear up....
The view from Silver Peak.
The sun! It quickly disappeared.
