::Cottage Life::

Early last fall, after Randy Starkman & Randy Risling from the Toronto Star came for a visit up in Algonquin Park and produced that cool video, Toronto-based Cottage Life magazine asked if I was interested in having a little artice writen about my place up there.  I said I would certainly like that very much, but only if they would permit me to write that article myself.  Almost 10-months later, it's on shelves! Here's the cover, and a very small teaser... pick up a copy of the magazine to read my feature, and because it's a fantastic publication.  Thank you to Michelle and Penny and everyone Cottage Life, you are a pleasure to work with, and I hope it's not the last time I have the privilege.

{a tiny excerpt} 

..."Up until that corner, my kayaking career had been rewarding on many levels, not the least of which was bringing me to that corner in Algonquin Park.  I often consider how the choices we make and the paths we take mould us into the people that we are.  My choice to turn right that rainy morning, a seemingly random decision, turned out to be another game changer for me.  When I was out paddling on South Tea Lake I saw a “For Sale” sign on a dock.  I was intrigued so I got out of my boat on that dock and had a look around.  The property was home to a very old log cabin, and nobody had been by in quite a long time.  There were five or six big fallen trees blocking the path, and since I was in bare feet I didn’t explore for too long.  I committed the real estate phone number to memory, and finished my paddle in the rain."...

Hi Adam, I really enjoyed your article and your slice of life in Algonquin. You're a true hands-on Canadian woodsman. Cute references to Creemore and other local icons. Good luck this summer at London Olympics.
