Winter in Algonquin

It is surely beautiful there in Winter, but not very comfortable.

Temperatures have been known to drop to 30 degrees below zero

and tenting is absolutely no fun.

I have hiked there, but never spent a night in a tent.

Not only does it get very very cold, but it also gets dark early. 

At 5 PM it's pitch black and what do you do then? 

One of my All-Time Favorite Winter shots.

Very interesting: Wind-driven spray from the lake, encases each individual blade of grass.

If you look carefully, you can see the blade of Grass encapsulated in ice.

A quick rest on their way South
