Summer Canadian Howl
On July 28th, 1998, we trekked our tails from the confines of the US of A and padded into the realm of Ontario, Canada, where we spent from a few days to over a week in the areas of Pickering and Bancroft (Beancrock!) Ontario. What had originally been planned as a small meeting of wolves... ended up as a full blown howl, complete with funky green burrs that seem to spawn on clothing, bare paws, a lake-full of wet wolves, much walking, back bacon, mosquitoes, and the ever useful collection of Mag-lites...
