Paige did not have to admit the spills, but good to her for full on honesty! Not ideal snow conditions but those spring blue skies must have made up for it. Hats off to Algonquin or the 'Friends of' for building that sweet warming cabin. Looking forward to watching some paddling, keep adventuring! p.s. Happy 10th, you are a great couple and obviously soul mates.
I think if she had her poles extended longer she could have saved herself from some of those falls! The backpack will through ya a little off balance though. Kept things interesting. We are excited to do this again next year on the Leaf Lake trail system, it has a few warming cabins as well. Yes, we are planning some spring canoe trips, can't wait to get on the water! Thanks Ian 🙂
A wonderful trip to celebrate 10 years! So nice to have someone to share outdoor adventures with! :) Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing many more of your adventures together. :) :)
Thank you so much Jacqueline! We feel fortunate to have each other's company on our adventures. We will definitely have many more adventures to share with everyone :)
What a perfect way to celebrate! looks like amazing spring skiing, I've wondered about wearing a heavy pack with camping gear on skis; it seems like you had ideal spring snow conditions to slow you down if you picked up too much speed on some of those hills! thanks for sharing your adventure, can't wait for snow!!
The big pack does make you top heavy and it would have been sketchy in icy conditions. I'm looking forward to winter too and more xc skiing adventures. Thanks for watching!
Thanks B K! Algonquin Park has some of the best xc ski trails in Ontario, a great way to explore the park in the winter. Happy to share these new adventures with you!
@@AleconAdventures I'm trying these new adventures solo which I love, but hopefully I can get the wife on the bandwagon so I can share them with someone also. Wish me luck lol!
Happy anniversary you two! 🙌🍻😃 You guys were cruising down those trails! Makes me want to take up cross country skiing 🎿… so I can get to a fishing hole faster 😂
Ya, xc skiing is definitely underrated in Algonquin. There are 2 really great trail networks, Fen Lake at the West Gate and Leaf Lake on the east side of the park. Would definitely recommend checking them out! Thanks for watching 🙂
Happy Anniversary! That looked like a great way to celebrate. It’s nice that you had that awesome cabin to use. Is the program where you two met the same one that Kevin Callan is involved in and does the occasional trip videos from?
Hey Alan! It was a fun way to celebrate for sure. No, the program we did together was the Outdoor Adventure program at Algonquin College in Pembroke. Kevin Callan is involved in the Outdoor program at Fleming College in Lindsay I believe- which Paige also did graduate from the year before she went to Algonquin and we met. She thinks she remembers having some lectures with Kevin. Both are great programs! Thank you for always showing up to my videos, I really appreciate your support!
I keep forgetting if it's the 9th or the 10th of March for us, and my wife does not find it the least bit humorous. Is that cabin wired for electricity? I'm surprised at how busy the place gets in the winter.
It's funny how important dates can be hard to remember lol. I believe the cabin was wired but no lights were installed yet when we were there. The xc ski trails can get busy on the weekends. Thanks for checking out my videos!

Hey Jim, it was a perfect celebration for us! Followed by a nice dinner out when we got back 😉 Thank you!

Thanks Teunis! Going fast is always fun 😎 We've hauled toboggans with our xc skis, definitely could be a faster way to get to the fishing hole 😉👍
That looked really fun. I have to learn how to cross-country ski!
Cross-country skiing is a ton of fun and a really good workout too! Thanks for watching 🙂
Great video. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching Stephen!
We have been to AP dozens of times winter and summer but never knew about X-country skiing. Will have to try it out. Thanks
