Made a minor tweak. after reviewing the route, for the 100th time, I realized we'd have to backtrack into Princeton for fuel after the whipsaw before jumping over to the provincial park. So, I've revised our plan to run it CLOCKWISE which is the traditional path. The Counter Clockwise (or Anticlockwise) route is supposedly more challenging (again reportedly all major obstacles have bypasses/easy lines). However, we'll have a 5+hr drive to Princeton regardless, and we can discuss and make the decision on what way we want to go based on how folks feel and how we progress, there is more camping available near the start of the clockwise route it seems.

I do want to re-iterate that I won't be able to pre-run this, and this will be my first time in the area, so depending on how busy it is (this is the height of the season for the whipsaw) and how many spots there are to camp, we may have to fumble around for a camp spot, especially the first night (due to proximity to a main road). I just ask your patience and understanding.

Looking forward to this trip a ton!

Not just guns but any gun accessories like ammo or spent shells will draw unwanted attention at the border crossing and possibly cost you money and denial of entry into Canada. Also any DUIs or felonies on your record even old ones can show up when you cross the border into Canada and can possibly cost you money and no entry.
