we decided to go to Western Uplands trail's first loop(33KM)

Access Point: 60# road ( another point is rain lake. But it's next year's plan)
Frist night: Maggie Lake
Second night: Ramona Lake
Day 3: short hike out sunday (8-10km)

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛这次野外徒步露营是属于backcountry camping的一种。露营地是没有水，没有电，没有停车的地方，只有一个简易厕所和烧篝火的坑。
所以，食品、睡袋、帐篷等都要打在一个包里，背在身上。这就是Backpack hiking。水要从湖里取，用净水器或药片过滤。烧饭，烧水，篝火的木材要自己砍伐。
这次是3条backpacking trail中据说最漂亮的一条。可短客场。长可有55公里。我们计划走33公里。
6.24早上7：00出发，到60号公路入口处，加上登记，大概需要时间4个小时。
第一个晚上（6.24)，我们在Maggie Lake 露营 大概走10-13公里
第二个晚上(6.25)，我们在Ramona Lake 露营 大概走12-13公里
第三天(6.26): 大概走8-10公里公里，回多伦多。
由于有20-30磅的背包和每天10-12公里的山路。大家在体力上要有一定的
准备。当然，如果大家都不行了，那我们就在Maggie Lake 露营两天。不过，经历风雨才能见到彩虹。大家选择这次野外徒步露营，也是对自己的体力和意志的挑战。有时候，再努力一下，成功就在前头。
现在有7个人了，不过我还没有和大家联系过。确定下来以后，大家见面。我会给大家讲一讲要带的东西，和如何去买。东西是越轻越好。有一些公共
的东西就可以分摊一下，不用每人都带。
野外徒步露营的最大享受就是大家围着篝火聊天，玩游戏。听半夜狼叫和水鸟飞过湖面的声音。
请大家在给我PM时，留下电话号码，以便联系。更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

那时候秋叶非常的美，像一个五彩缤纷的万花筒。现在这个季节可能有很大的不同吧。不过这个loop绝大多部分在森林里走，所以现在树叶很多的时候也许看不到很多的风景。有几个小建议：1）别忘了带20几米的绳子。晚上所有的吃的，碗筷，和有香味的东西都应该吊起来，以防熊和小动物。2）backpacking in Algonquin似乎有人数限制。其实多过八人就很难组织了。一个site只能很挤得放两个双人帐。3）最好用野外camping的小炉子烧饭，既方便又保护环境。“砍材“应该是不允许的。砍的柴因为湿也很难点着。应该捡地上落的干柴。如果下雨的话，很难点起篝火，所以最好还是带小炉子。

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Happy Campers,

Thank you again for showing your interest in participate in this upcoming backpack camping trip to Algonquin.

2 show stoppers to be cleared ASAP before we start.

1. 6.24 is a FRIDAY, not Saturday...We will leave very early that day. so you need to take a FULL day off. and that weekend is NOT a long weekend. therefore you need to take one FULL day off from your company/school. Make sure you get management approval for that and let me know, we'll see that as an FINAL confirmation from you otherwise your spot could be taken by other people anytime. No Guarantee to keep your spot if you don't let me know your day off on 6.24 is OKed.

2. Backpack camping is fun, but Tough. We need to hiking avg 10km everyday and you have to carry all your camping gears on your back, that include tent, sleeping bag, cookware, , , etc...that will be a big bag for you to carry. You need to be physically and mentally prepared for that. If you don't work out regularly,,I'll recommend you start some physical training from now. 2 week is enough to get you started. You need to understand once we leave our access point from Algonquin, there is no way back. Unless someone broke their leg, we will not stop. This is kinda commitment you have to make to the whole team, as you can see we have a big team here, that you will try all your best to complete this trip. It's gona be tough, but a fun trip to challenge ourselves 300km from civilization.

Campers, your reply to this email will serves as a final confirmation from you. We booked 2 sites, spots are limited as people continue sign up..so act quick and let's go have fun there.
