Okay well most of the cucks on here couldn't drive that area, my friend hit a moose by Thunder Bay.

Do you like the niagara penisula?

It's actually an isthmus strange things happen on it

>>1057938
I loved the place. I made it there at night. The ice on the falls and the reflection from the lightning made it look like something out of a story book. The 100% humidity during the winter made the air hang heavy and quiet, in tribute to the natural wonder. Tell me more about these strange things anon.

Lots of People go disappearing on the Great Lakes, in or around them. Niagara is a land between two lakes (Erie and Ontario)

we are also one of the only Carolinian forest in Canada.

I've lived in British Colombia and in Alberta and nowhere is quite as warm and humid and weird as niagara

>>1057965
Do people still try to go over the falls anymore or are the police super buttmad about it?

>>1057969

One of the only people who went over the falls and lived recently jumped and died.

It's weird because it's such a sense of comfort you guys don't know feels like a still summer night at 2 am as you can hear the falls. I lived within walking distance and you can hear the falls pretty much everywhere even inside your house.

Caught by a arctic storm in Iceland, 28 hours inna tent, wind was crazy, mixed with sand and snow.

>>1057983
Were you with someone at least?

>>1057988
nope, solo, but I had a sturdy little tent and mobile connection. I had a small mp3 player with me, playing Bob Marley to calm me down.

Is this you?

>>1058017
Yeah, could say so, I was seriously worried my tent would fail so I kept most of my gear on, boot close by and my pockets stuffed with items I'd need if I woke up in the middle of bumfuck nowhere during an arctic storm without a tent.
At some point I got pretty freaked out about the noise and constant violent rattling of the tent, so take a big sip o something and play the Legend album and I was back to normal.
Every 3-4 hours I had to check pegs (all 16 weighted down by rocks) and remove sand and snowdrift.

Sounds intense, man. I had a tent come fully unstaked on me during a blizzard in the Blue Ridge mountains, only thing kept it from blowing away was the three people in it. Good memories to look back on, but not fun at the time.
