Outter Limits Fun Run
October 15th, 2011This was the 10th anniversary of the Outter Limits Fun Run and it has been getting better every year. The growing number of people in attendance is a testament to what a great event it is. My brother and I ran in the very first Outter Limits Fun Run together so it was kind of nice to be able to run it again together on the 10th anniversary.
The 10 or 5 km run/walk takes place 30 minutes north of Flora Bora at the beautiful Elk Ridge Golf Course at a time of year when the fall colours are spectacular. The folks from Outter Limits do an amazing job of actually making the words ‘Fun and Run’ go together. There is bag-piper at the start line, bongo drummers and musicians along the route, prizes for the best costumes, lots of fun games on the go, participant gifts that rock, great food, and two kegs of beer!
2012 Fun Run will be September 29 so register for the run and book your yurt early!

A September to Remember!
September 25th, 2011This has been a wonderful September. There has been lots of beach days, lake temperatures have been perfect for swimming, no crowds and the tree’s have been spectacular.
2nd week of September
Boundary Bog trail in Prince Albert National Park is a favorite anytime of year but it really shines in the fall with the tamaracks’ changing colour.
Great time of year for hiking or trail running.
Showing how elegant and unflexible I am.
Sandy Lake is located on the south end of Prince Albert National and only 15 minutes from us. It is such a nice lake with a sandy bottom great for swimming, its never too busy, great sites for campfires and a hiking trail that hooks up with the Elk Trail.
Another lake option so close to us.
