About this blog.

It has taken me a while (okay, a couple of years) to decide the purpose of this blog. I have tried a few different ideas, but none of them really stuck. Finally, it hit me. I am going to use this blog to track our family's goal of visiting 120 Provinical Parks! This goal started back in 2007 with our first camping trip with the children. So, this blog will track our progress, and provide reviews of our experiences.

Time Flies!

WOW!!! I find it hard to believe that it has been over 2 years since my last post!  We have done plenty of camping in those two years, but unfortunately we only made it to 1 new park last year.  In 2013 we spent a week in Killbear P.P. and had agreat time.  We have also adventured outside of the Ontario Provincial Park system and tried camping in Quebec at Mount Tremblant National Park and Letchworth State Park in New York State.  I will try and post a write up on these two parks as well.  Both parks are lovely.  To date we have reached 46 provincial parks!  By the end of August we hope to be around 56 parks in total!  Yes, we have a big camping trip planned.  I should clarify that we have not camped at all of these provincial parks.  Some of the parks we have visited are day use parks only, and some have camping facilities, but we just spend a little time there (enjoy a picnic, trail or swimming).  We are running out of parks to visit within a 4 hour driving distance.  If you take a look at the new 2014 Ontario Parks guide, in the map section we have visited all, but one in the Southeastren Region!  We plan on visiting that one in October.  Hopefully by the end of October we will also have the Central Region completed!  Please check back again and see what other parks we have explored!
