Went up to Algonquin Pa= rk's Mew Lake Camp Ground over the past week end.  It was cold with whi= te stiff on the ground Saturday morning.  Went through two bottles of p= ropane on the Coleman Black Cat with top part way down, stuff stashed on top= bunk would not let the top all the way down !  It was toasty but havin= g to wake up and change the propane a couple of times was a PITA.  Got = a small electric heater for Saturday nite as we were in an electrified site.=   That went better !  There were two of us with Westys my bud Simo= n with his '81 and me with my '87.  Algonquin is awesome.  First t= ime I have been there.  Been wanting to go for some time but never had = the chance.  I will certainly go back for longer camping.  Lots of= trails for hiking and biking and canoeing galore.  Spring time looks g= ood for the trout fishing so maybe I'll do that.  We went in at the Eas= t Gate from Renfrew way, taking Hyway 60 across the park to Mew Lake.  = Check it out, it's a great place for camping with ypur Westy.  Mew Lake= is small but sports a full pine forest with tons of pine needles for the fl= oor.  We had black ducks in the camp ground all week end.  I kept = trying to entice them into our camp fire for a little barbecue.  Hmmmmm= , they retreated !  Oh, well, next time.  We did just fine with ba= rbecued chicken and noodles with garlic sauce !
