Family Geology Tour…

In the footsteps of Eldon George… this budding geologist from the Ottawa region was keen to check out the beaches at Wasson’s Bluff and Two Islands today!

Economy Falls

A visit to Economy Falls has been on my agenda for nearly four years. Between washed out, nearly impassable roads, a crazy schedule and lack of interest from hiking friends it took this much time to finally get to the long anticipated destination.

Witness to Erosion and Celebrating the Return of the Soley Cove Waterfalls!

I had a return tour participant today and we ventured out to Soley Cove. With numerous Five Islands Provincial Park Tours Soley Cove warranted a special private tour.
