2020 Year-Round Camping
2020 is my fifth year of camping every month. This year has been especially heavy in trips to the Ottawa National Forest. I know what I like, okay? There's just so much to explore out there and I'm always finding more cool spots to set up a tent (or just the sleeping bag). 2020 was notable in that I cowboy camped on six occasions, more than every other year combined. Skipping a tent means I can wear a smaller pack for negotiating tricky cliff edges or for faster adventures. Many trip photos were uploaded to Flickr so you can see how things looked in HD. Here's a list of where I camped in 2020 during each month:
-
January: O Kun De Kun Falls, Ottawa National Forest

February: Silver Mountain, Ottawa National Forest
