An Early Spring Drive into Algonquin Park
2021 April 07
On Wednesday April 07, Bob and Diana took a short drive along the Barron Canyon Road into Algonquin Park. We had originally planned a more extensive drive for Thursday, but decided to go sooner because of the rumored provincial shutdown coming at midnight; we wanted our drive to be at least somewhat legal. We discovered that the Park was deserted, the road was dry and that spring was well advanced.
