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:
