Paul Kane Trail
Monday, September 8, 2025 39 deg at 4 am I laid in bed readdressing my furnace problem. Sail switch, I decided. Was I blocking air flow with my tape? I could hear the technician I might hire, laughing at my Velcro tape job. On our way to hike, we stopped at the canoe launch parking…

Hike French Portage and Falls
Sunday, September 7, 2025 39 deg at 6 am Still having trouble with the furnace, I went out and surveyed the problem again. Of course there could be one or several problems, so I have watched some videos, which were helpful. All the wires were connected, but the cover for the flywheel was loose and…

Hike South Kabeyun Trail
September 2, 2025 We went down to the beach about 7:30 for the views, sounds and 1-2 bars. I wanted to see if I could get in one or two blogs posted, but one bar isn’t enough. It’s enough to get messages and emails, but not to upload pictures. I got one posted and then…
