Canadian Wilderness is Everwhe

The best thing about Canada is that it can be found just about anywhere throughout the country. My youth is filled with memories of that wilderness that vary from interior camping in the Algonquins to Summer months spent along the shores of Lake Huron at the family cottage. Even living in a city in southwestern Ontario as a young adult, I never had to go far to see the pure, untouched beauty of nature. This particular picture is from my grandparent's cottage in Port Elgin, where most of my family converges annually to enjoy long walks along the beach, biking on the trails and day-long hiking trips. There is nothing to compare with waking up in a place where you are just a few steps from a world of nature unblemished by the footprints of man.
