Getting Lost (and Found) in Nackawic, NB
What do you do when your long weekend hike is a complete bust? You find some craft beer and a donair, check out the local sites, and make the most of a glorious fall day.

I also get to take some time to reflect on what was a really, really awesome summer. Continue reading
