Robin in the Rain

SO today my intention was to go to Carp River Road and explore this mountain but I got too lazy looking for it so K and I took a ride to Hazelwood Lake Conservation Area!!! (Yes, I know, LAME and known) But, we ended up finding this large hill and it turned out to be a really good day. At least, I enjoyed myself. There was no huge view or waterfall but I had lots of fun! It was super muddy and it looked like people were doing construction throughout this hill. But, this hill went on forever. We went as high as we could (until our calves fell off basically) and got some neat shots!

                After hours of research, K and I decided to visit a tunnel we found online. It was just past Kakabeka. After hours of searching, we couldn't find it. Pissed off, we turned around and went home.

We returned the next weekend extremely determined to get to this tunnel. We took my car this time. I don't remember the exact directions to this tunnel but the road isn't too bad. Having passed the tunnel the first time, we were on steep sharp rocks in a small township.
We finally found the tunnel and really embraced it. It was huge!!!!!!
So worth the trip! This tunnel is quite popular but we were unaware of it at the time. This was my very first tunnel and would go back in a heartbeat! It is truly amazing.


This tunnel used to be where a train passed through until the tracks were removed. This is Flett Tunnel.

Losing my H-Card

Hiking was always a passion of mine but, I could never find anyone to hike with. Finally when I did, we went on our first hike. We parked at Paintball Mountain over the James Street Swing Bridge and began hiking up a large steep road. Of course it had rained the day before so we were essentially hiking up a stream. We got to the top to an amazing view (and a sigh of relief). The old chairlift still remained there and you can see a great extent of Thunder Bay.

This hike was of great importance to me because it was a step up from my usual Tree Farm walks; it got me addicted.



Sitting at the top of Mount McKay was the moment my adventure high began.

This is the view of the road; which, doesn't look very steep in this photo. But the grassy area at the top has a stellar view, trust me.

This photo was taken May 10th, 2013.

This was 8 days before my best friend's birthday.
