Hiking in Frontenac Provincial Park - Small Slide Lake Loop

-

Inspired by the adventure report, we arrived at the entrance to Small Slide Lake Loop on Perth Road, GPS coordinates 44.504723, -76.473802. Parked on the side of the road, we hiked around 40 mins before reaching the boundary of Frontenac Provincial Park.















Finally reached the trail head ...


Average time: 4 hours!! Dad and kids start to urge me not to take any more pictures :( 



Yes, that is right. How can you resist? LOL












Someone's camping out there.


Outhouse! What a relief! 



Such a beautiful place! Every angle is perfect in portrait or landscape.

















Beaver Dam





























We are only half way through?! 
"Mom, no more pictures please!"
"OK, OK ..."








Why do I feel it looks even better on this side ... Let me take a picture!

















Downhill again? My knees are shaking ... Someone gives me a hand?
You can do it. Trust yourself.













When we are at the peak, the sun comes out for a brief time! How lucky we are!






The nice curves of the lake shore




Geldof @ Frontenac Park?























Incoming! Sunset ...



For the last 40 mins, I packed my phone and followed the sound of my men. Cannot see anything clearly in the woods, just remember to lift my foot with every step to avoid kicking into a root or stone.


We were the last car there. 
Dad was scared whenever he thought about it again. If we stayed there for 10 more minutes, it could be completely dark and we might get lost in the woods ... BUT, we didn't!

How to clean a stainless steel coffee mug?

My favorite stainless coffee mug is getting so flavorful that I think I should give it a deep clean. Add 2 Tbsp baking soda into mug; Pour 1/4 cup white vinegar into mug, enjoy watching the bubbles;  Put the lid on, gently turn the mug so that the inside is rinsed with the solution; With a dish sponge, clean the inside becomes so easy, and the coffee stains come off effortlessly; Raise mug with hot water. It took me 5 minutes to get it as shinny as new. A quick and green way to clean!

Duvet cover quick fix ~ from zipper to velcro

This nice 300 thread count 100% cotton duvet cover has a full zipper closure on one side. The zipper pull is lost somewhere, leaving it on the shelf for a while. I finally have time to fix it. Rip the seams open along the zipper and took it off; Iron the top and bottom fabric flat, align them, and fold over 1", iron again; Divide the length into 3, with right side together, top stitch along the folded line to close the left and right 1/3, and leave the middle 1/3 open; Cut 3 pieces of Velcro tape, 2" each, separate them;  Evenly space the loop side of the Velcro tape on the lining within the opening, pin them in place, then sew the Velcro tape through 2 layers of the lining; Align the other side of the Velcro tapes on the top fabric, pin and sew ONLY single layer, as I don't want to leave 3 squares on the top fabric when done;  Top stitch a straight line along the folded edge of both top and lining fabric, make sure don't catch the other side by accid...
