I will confess: I LOVE fall. To me, it is the best season because it is the time when I get to go camping.
As a park staff, it’s tricky to go during the busy summer months, but as things begin to slow down in the fall, there’s usually more time to get away and visit some provincial parks.

Today’s post comes from James Burns, a conservation officer, and former Quetico Provincial Park interior ranger from 2000-2013.
If I thought more people were going to read this article, I’d almost feel guilty, for a gentleman should not kiss and tell; or in this case, catch and tell. Thankfully I’m no gentleman!
