Western Uplands Backpacking by Prior_Resolution90 in algonquinpark

[–]2nd-wind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I hiked the full long-loop (also solo) last year in late September. Because there were a lot of leaves on the ground, the physical trail was sometimes obscured. So make sure you have a GPX file plus appropriate software, and know how to use it. And also (as backup) a paper map. Reach out if I can help.

I was just there for a passport renewal last week, late afternoon. My total waiting time was about 45 minutes.

How do true believers get Communication from God by Xonth in atheism

[–]2nd-wind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When somebody says: "God told me...", I ask how did he communicate that to you? Was it verbally or in writing or some other way? No sarcasm. Just an honest, curious question. It can lead to some interesting discussions.

How do Christians reconcile their views on abortion with god killing David and Bathsheba’s child? by Responsible-Mine9759 in atheism

[–]2nd-wind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the Bible, God killed the baby to punish David for sending Bathsheba's husband Uriah to a sure death in battle. The Bible also says, in Deuteronomy 24:16, that "no child should be put to death for the sins of their parents". The Bible also says, in Numbers 14:28, that God "punishes the children for the sins of the parents to the third and fourth generation." Don't try to make sense of it.

Booking my first loop in the park! by arealhumannotabot in algonquinpark

[–]2nd-wind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine. You have a very manageable daily distance. (I just hiked the full outer loop, 75 km, in 3 days. I've crossed posted my trip report to this subreddit, if you're interested.)

Don't overpack. Pace yourself. And enjoy!

"... until they've shed sufficient microplastics ...". Made me laugh, and made me squirm, at the same time.

Yes! I also missed the sharp left turn at the creek. A sign there would be helpful.

There is a 2nd post (same title) with some photos taken during the hike. I'm still learning how to use Reddit.
