Scrambling to disentangle from Meta properties, and get settled here.

This account is for our RV camping blog

@celebrationgen.bsky.social will be for food stuff and recipes from all four of our food blogs.

Fun fact: saying "oh, deer" out loud when driving through a #provincialpark IN NO WAY communicates that there is literally a deer on the side of the road.

LOL.

@charlieangus104.bsky.social any way to buy you a drink or shake your hand out whatever, on an upcoming trip through your area?

I'd bake you a cake or something, but the RV has a propane oven, and I'm not into it. LOL

I've seen some weird things while camping, but here's a new one.

Driving out of #AlgonquinProvincialPark this morning, I saw I pickup truck that was loaded up with... Lobster traps.

Haven't seen a single one in a couple decades, but those were definitely lobster traps.

Listening to the Jurassic park theme as we drive into Algonquin Park is a vibe.

Opening up about a creepy and frustrating situation we're in with another #Ontario #camping blogger.

We are now far more cognizant of our surroundings when camping, ESPECIALLY with regards to the other campers in our immediate vicinity.

I'm going to rant.

Many years ago, I posted an incredibly accurate copycat recipe of a restaurant dish I loved, but no longer have access to, as I moved.

In the post, I talked about how one benefit to my particular flavour of autism is that I can taste something...

It's still so weird to me that I grew up a 7 hour drive away from my husband, and he gets so few of the cultural references I grew up with.

To me, certain forests or Northern Ontario beaches feel like a 1980s CBC show.

Like... it's a vibe.

Most husbands would send pretty scenic photos of what their crippled wife is missing out on.

Mine?

So, there's actually a really great chance of a WILD Aurora Borealis / northern lights show tonight. The numbers are looking nice and angry!

You don't need any special equipment to photograph them, just some info:

Some hyperlapse video of some of the SPECTACULAR Aurora Borealis show on October 10, 2024.

We took this video during a camping trip at Killbear Provincial Park - It was an amazing night!

I may have the humour of a 12 year old boy, but this is my absolute favourite sign in Bruce Peninsula National Park.

That building may not be the 'High Dump' indicated (that's actually a backcountry campground!)...

... But it IS a vaulted washrooms building, LMFAO!

#Ontario #camping #funny
A Parks Canada directional sign. It indicates that high dump is 6.2 km in that way. Immediately in the direction that arrow points of a vaulted toilets building.

Oh, and we used this #camping trip as an opportunity to shoot a few camping #recipes for the blog.

Today I posted my campfire chicken curry.

Not super authentic, but REALLY quick, easy, and tasty!

A little bit of #birding this morning. First a Great Blue Heron flew by in front of us while parked, so I got a few pictures out the window. A few minutes later I saw several Killdeer at a nearby park. Killdeer are so weird, but adorable!

I completely forgot to share this photo of the #NorthernLights over Mew Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park a few weeks ago.

One of those times where the numbers were NOT exciting, but happened upon a good show anyway!

It was the best Aurora Borealis display we've seen in that park so far!

Frozen prep for a few recipes we'll be shooting on our next camping trip, dozens of flavoured protein powder mixes, protein pancake mixes (pictured), a few campfire cookie mixes, and more! -M
Several plastic baggies on a tray, each being filled with protein powder pancake ingredients.

The Cheltenham Badlands are a series of land formations with an otherworldly appearance, in Southern Ontario.

Here’s everything you need to know, if you’re planning to visit this unique landscape area:

Given its proximity to the Greater Toronto Area, Valens Lake Conservation Area is a great way to try Winter Camping.

Here's what you need to know!

An ice rink cleared on valens lake, with a hockey net on one end. A snow covered boardwalk going through the woods. A path cleared in the snow, leading across Valens Lake to an ice rink cleared on it. A snow covered wooden boardwalk extending over valens lake. Some of the ice is melted, and there are ducks swimming there.

Sometimes I worry that I rant too much about problems with campground maps in our reviews.

I have no idea of other people notice - or even care - about the things I talk about.

I just get really annoyed with bad cartography, LOL

We spotted SO many birds of prey today! Managed to get great photos of this Golden Eagle that was VERY close to the road, and this Rough-Legged Hawk as well.

This morning we went out to see if we could get some shots of the Red-Tailed Hawk that we've seen around here. We didn't see that one, but we did see this Rough-Legged Hawk. It's really fun to see such cool birds nearby!
