In the News: Algonquin Backpacking article in Toronto Star

This is what I would call an "ok" article where they discuss the basics of backpacking in Algonquin. Nothing really ground breaking here, but not a bad read. The highlight in my opinion is the quote below...

The park ranger remembers meeting a husband and wife after they had completed a gruelling hike – it was her first backpacking adventure.

"I asked them how it was," says McEathron.

"The woman turned to me and said, `I think my husband brought me out here to prove how much he dislikes me,' " he says with a laugh.

You can read the article in it's entirety by clicking HERE.
