Well, it appears that due to all the rain we had lately, my destination was less a forest and more a swamp. This was definitely something I had not planned for. I managed to make some headway into the forest by jumping between fallen logs, moss and patches of dry of land, but the swamp eventually became impassable. | Well, it appears that due to all the rain we had lately, my destination was less a forest and more a swamp.

Expedition by Wojciech Kozlowski
I live near the west side of the Ottawa graticule, so I thought I'd try to reach today's Renfrew graticule point instead. According to Google Maps, the point was in a forest a bit south of Carleton Place. So, armed with my trusty GPS, and some water and food to snack on, I figured I would be in for a challenging, but manageable, hike though the forest. So I thought, anyway.
Well, it appears that due to all the rain we had lately, my destination was less a forest and more a swamp. This was definitely something I had not planned for. I managed to make some headway into the forest by jumping between fallen logs, moss and patches of dry of land, but the swamp eventually became impassable.
