The final blog post
I have spent my life interpreting nature even before I realized it. I seek nature’s interpretation to expand knowledge, interest and enthusiasm (Beck et al. 2018, p.12). I have often found myself interpreting through museums, campgrounds, hikes, and visitors centres. Over the years, as my knowledge of the connections and interactions within nature expands, my interpretations become more applicable to my education, allowing me to exercise and expand my learned knowledge. When I am interpreting, there are several things I look to achieve and take away from the experience. This course specifically has taught me to allow my interpretations to be more open-minded, allowing me to see the connections when I reflect on my past experiences interpreting the world (Beck et al. 2018, pg. 13). These connections help me understand why something made me feel a certain way, or why a specific event might be so clear in my memory. This course has taught me to feel and connect my emotions through interpretation, whether it be art, nature, or music. In terms of my personal ethics regarding interpretation, I will never be the person to push boundaries within interpretation for the amusement of my own fascination. Pushing these boundaries offers risk of losing opportunities for anyone else which is not ethical. When at a museum if they say don’t touch something, regardless of if touching it will impact it’s quality I will not touch it. Or if on a hike and there’s a sign stating that these rocks are sensitive don’t step on them I would not push the boundaries for the security of knowing that others will get the same experience when they visit. I feel these are ethics and morals that should go without said, especially for people who often visit nature and might be seen as a role model. I am so strict within these rules for myself because I can recall one time my family was viewing these rocks on a hike in northern Ontario that were so impressively balanced on each other for hundreds of years, and just days before we visited, one of them had been pushed over by people who ignored the boundaries and it was so disappointing for us. 
In terms of my personal beliefs regarding interpretation, I am often fascinated by observing and thinking or discussing with others. Especially in natures surroundings like hikes, I do not feel the need to interact or disturb nature’s processes, rather observe with fascination and apply my knowledge. I feel this allows for a more successful interpretation because you are watching experiences that would occur if you were or were not there. When watching nature, it is so interesting to wonder. When watching the squirrels, I love wondering what their mental processes are at the moment of our interaction. This goes hand in hand with the ethics of respecting boundaries. As someone who is in school for zoology, people are starting to come to me for questions about certain animals or situations within nature. People are starting to look towards me to feel comfortable within nature and that tells me I need to work even harder to be the best role model possible.
As someone who is very passionate and becoming educated about the contexts of natures and its interactions, there are several things I am responsible for when it comes to interpreting nature. I am a part of a group of people who are responsible for the quality of our nature and its future. Although I do not work or display myself in public opportunities for interpretation, I do have goals for my future. In whatever I might enroll myself in I have the responsibility to maintain accuracy of information, ethical information, and I will never share a belief for the point of pleasing others, I will always spread information that I also believe in and feel passion towards (Beck et al., 2018 p. 37). In my personal life, my responsibilities include the maintenance of stewardship to stay connected with the goals, beliefs, and cultural morals that portray themselves within whatever I might be interpreting (Beck et al., 2018 p. 37). This will allow for the stories, connections and history expression to stay present (Beck et al., 2018, p. 37).
I work at a dog boarding and daycare facility and I always love answering peoples questions about dog behaviour, why they do certain things, and further informing people on how their dogs might thrive better. All of my answers to peoples questions come from experience, and knowledge. My enjoyment of answering these questions tells me I would thrive in a position where this situation can be applied to nature. I have considered working at trailer parks, or volunteering to do nature lessons with rescued animals, and as someone who might have this future role, there are many responsibilities. These include but are not limited to, the promotion of knowledge towards conservation, educating people on how they can improve themselves or just educating to make more people aware of an issue, engaging people within my lessons without creating disruption, and applying the knowledge to other scenarios like cultures, beliefs, or background information. All this would be present while demonstrating ethical behaviour myself. I can be successful in an advocacy educational role by applying knowledge learned from this course, like different learning behaviours, understanding how to grasp the attention of diverse audiences, and understanding where I would fit in best to educate my audience.
These blog posts have forced me to interpret my life experiences through a new lens. They have allowed me to explore my emotional connections and understand my memories. In an ideal world where I have more time, I would enjoy beginning to journal because connecting my blog posts with my thoughts is something I have enjoyed doing. Starting a journal as inspiration from these blog posts would allow me to deeply understand myself and I also enjoy going back and reading my initial interpretations of the blog prompts to see how I would change my answer now. Finally, this course has taught me that I have unknowingly been interpreting nature this whole time.

Great Lakes!
Tumblr, help. i'm doing a roadtrip this year from the Canadian side of Lake Ontario, across northern lake Erie through Detroit over to the east shore of Lake Michigan, up to the eastern tip of Superior, around Huron (I've heard there's a great ferry across it too maybe?) and back to lake Ontario, and I wanna know what to make sure we see and do!
What are the best scenic stops?
What are the rural local art galleries you can't miss?
Where are your fav campgrounds or b&bs or outrageous roadside motels?
We're thinking of driving about 4ish hours a day, and we do have some family along the way but I dont know yet who'll be home when we drive by, so we're pretty flexible!
I would love some paintable/photographable stuff, national or provincial or state parks are my jam, but also chances to see things like wildlife rehabs or historical sites or spots that are doing their own thing.
Also, very important, I need to stick my feet in each lake, so beaches are a must.
Help me, Tumblr, I know nothing about michigan or northwestern Ontario!
(thanks!)

iNat Adventures with thefaestolemyname part 2: Golden Beach Campground, New York State!
Part 1/?
I made this post earlier, but it didn't save properly in drafts so I gotta start over :/
Before I begin with species and fun facts, first a question for anyone who might live in NY: What is this? Why??
Tumblr media
It was a simple 4-way intersection!
In Ontario we have this for the same scenario:
Tumblr media
Is this an American thing? Just a New York thing? There's gotta be a good reason for that mess.
Back on topic, we start off with a banger:
Wood Frog (Lithobates Sylvaticus)
Tumblr media
(The pic is rotated that's why the grass is weird) Recognized them right away because I found one in a swamp nearer to home in June, can't find the post to link. They can handle freezing 65-70% of the water in their body, and the reason why has to do with urea, glucose, and "amino acid substitutions in the ... ATP binding site" (Wood frog - Wikipedia). They depend on multiple habitats, breed in seasonal pools, and have large ranges.
Dragonfly/Damsel fly (order Odonata)
Tumblr media
I know, I know, hear me out. At first I had no idea who this shed exoskeleton represented, but apparently Dragonflies have a life cycle in which little things that look like this hatch out of eggs, moult many times, and after their final moult look like a proper dragonfly. Now, this suit of armour's abdomen looks too large for me to be fully convinced it's a dragonfly, but it's the best guess so far.
Dragonfly | Description, Anatomy, Habitat, Life Cycle, & Facts | Britannica
Leopard Earthball (Scleroderma areolatum)
Tumblr media
As usual with mushrooms, not 100% confident with this ID, and not a ton of info on the species. The inside is supposed to be full of black spores so the mushroom, instead of raining spores from gills, is like a pouch of spores. I'm pretty sure I'm in the ballpark though, as it's definitely an earthball of some sort. I couldn't find a species on iNat that had pics that showed the same amount of flakiness as these guys.
Scleroderma areolatum, Leopard Earthball fungus (first-nature.com)
Ghost Pipes (Monotropa uniflora)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Re-writing this section is a shame because I just cannot re-produce the excitement. I was nothing less than ecstatic to find a mycoheterotroph. I had read about this almost mystical, otherworldly, ethereal treasure of a living being in Merlin Sheldrake's Entangled Life, but never thought I had a good chance of seeing any in real life. These guys have a history of baffling scientists, and are the source of much of our understanding of the nature of Mycorrhizal networks. In short, they have no chloroplasts and no roots - they cannot photosynthesize and they cannot bring in nutrients or moisture from the soil. How then do they survive? Fungi! All the carbon, energy, and more that it uses to build and sustain itself comes from other plants through the Mycorrhizal networks that span forests. I could go on and on about how these plants represent magic living on and even through a scientific world, but this caption is already too long.
All About Ghost Pipe (Monotropa uniflora) - Unruly Gardening
Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures by Merlin Sheldrake | Goodreads
Yellow Club Fungus (Clavulinopsis Helvola)
Tumblr media
At first I thought it was Golden Spindles fungus, (C. Fusiformis), but after looking into more detail I figured C. Helvola was more likely because of size. Honestly, I thought they might be Cordyceps at first because that's the only club-shaped fungus I remember reading about, but nope. Apparently the spores are covered in warts, which distinguishes them from other Clavulinopsis species, but I was not prepared to take specimens for further inspection this time. In a rare occurrence, I am almost semi-confident about this ID. Surely I got the right genus?
E-Flora BC Atlas Page (ubc.ca)
Northern Red Belt (Fomitopsis mounceae)
Tumblr media
This one I am also semi-confident in my identification of. It's got a red belt at the end and is in North America, it's bumpy/warty and has a white underside, and was found on a dead tree at low elevation, all characteristics of F. Mounceae. This species was distinguished from F. pinicola by Irene Mounce (A Canadian! 🇨🇦), after whom it was named.
Fomitopsis mounceae (MushroomExpert.Com)

Can definitely confirm as a Canadian that this has been a scary summer for wildfires. I live in southern Ontario, and could barely go outside for a week because the smoke coming in on the wind was so bad, I can’t imagine how scary it is for people living in the affected areas. My cousin lives in BC and I’ve been worried about him.
I'm really sorry you have to deal with that. Whenever I open any wildfire maps or smoke maps, Canada is just covered by it. Depending on the scale the map is zoomed at, it looks like the entire province of BC is covered. It looks so scary. Do y'all typically get fires that bad in Ontario? I know that BC and Alberta have more of the typical fire-supported ecosystems (mountains, conifer forests, etc), although that still doesn't mean the amount/intensity of the fires are normal. I haven't put a lot of research into wildfire in Canada, since I was mostly focusing on the area where my story was set, but I was initially quite surprised at how bad it was in the eastern areas of the country too. I hope your cousin is safe.
This summer has been pretty rough for my family, with my Papa's health taking a steep decline, him being hospitalized and placed on hospice, and then dying last month. (I really wish I could say it was peaceful but it was awful to witness.) My aunt was supposed to go on a camping trip with some friends up in Canada, but had to cancel it because of everything happening here. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise I guess--a really weird thing to call a "blessing" I know-- because her friends who went to Canada had to emergecy evacuate the campground and flee because the wildfires were closing in. They left all their belongings. Fortunately, the fire was stopped right before it reached the campground, but it was scary. I'm glad my aunt was not there and was safely down here. These people were fortunate because they're just tourists and can go home--so many people who actually live in Canada right now are in such a scary situation. Many people are not so fortunate, either by losing their life or their homes or their livelihoods.

West Ontario: Thunder Bay and Kenora
It feels like ages ago that I left Sleeping Giant as I'm currently in Calgary, three provinces further west 😅 but been busy traveling with very little internet access, so will aim to catch up by writing shorter posts! 🤞
On the way to Thunder Bay I visited the Terry Fox memorial - for non-Canadians, he was a young man who ran a "marathon of hope" to raise awareness for cancer; having started in St John's in Newfoundland, he ran 3,339 miles across Canada close to here, where he had to stop as his cancer returned & he died shortly afterwards. Supporting Terry Fox runs by friends were the first donations that I made in Canada (I must admit I never ran myself) and he has rightly so turned into an inspiration for many. The memorial serves both as a reminder that our health is the very first thing we should take care of, and as a motivation to never give up on life... ❤
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Thunder Bay I did the usual errands plus an unsatisfactory visit to a BMO bank branch, where I had hoped they would reinstate my credit card after a suspicious activity... however, they only could send a new card to my friends in Dundas (where I'll be back end September 🤔) so that stressed me out but luckily with the help of great friends 😍, I received the replacement card this morning in Calgary so I can now worriless continue spending 😝.
Half an hour west from Thunder Bay I breaked for lunch at the Kakabeka Falls, the so-called "Niagara Falls of the North"... although pretty (& in a more natural setting than Niagara Falls), the comparison doesn't really hold true 🤣
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After that it was a 2hr+ drive to the little village of Ignace where I stayed in a lovely inn on a lake, run by a couple that used to live in Toronto but had moved here during the pandemic in search for a quieter life (which it certainly is with its 1,200p population!) .
Along the drive, the trees were still the same boreal forest (which I probably will never want to see again after this roadtrip 😁) and it was grey and boring so couldn't wait to stop for the day... the only interesting thing is that I changed another hour back in time, similar to Labrador not at a provincial border but just randomly somewhere 😅. Meant I had an extra hour to sit with my legs up!
Tumblr media
Next day, I made the last 3-hour push to arrive in Kenora, the most westerly town in Ontario and famous for being on the massive Lake of the Woods. The roads were much busier here with several links to the US border, and suddenly it became agricultural with rolling fields west of Dryden, a change from the forever-forest!
In the evening, the lake at my campsite at Rushing River provincial park became dead still and massive clouds turned pink when the sun set... pretty! 😍 As a really great plus, there were no longer flies and very few mosquitos which makes being outside so much nicer. As a really big negative, there was a snake that came my way when I was sitting at the picknick table chatting with a friend. After booing it away, I researched Ontario snakes and although the common eastern gartersnake is not poisonous and doesn't normally attack, I was less than pleased when it showed up next to me again! 😵
Tumblr media
In the morning, the water was still very calm so had a beautiful paddle before breakfast. I never cease to be happy when I'm on the water!! 🤩
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thereafter, I drove into town for a boat tour on the MS Kenora along tons of islands, rich houses, "devil gaps", spiritual rocks as well as 6 bald eagles. It was pretty but very hazy due to the smoke so then everything turns into the same gray-yellow hue... 🤨
After visiting an art gallery dedicated to a local painter and an interesting exhibit on the 150th anniversary of Indigenous Treaty #3 - " which will last as long as the sun will shine and the water runs, that is to say forever", it was patio time for a drink & snack with view on the lake! ☀️ Back at the campground, it was so sticky hot that I went for another little paddle to the beach and a refreshing swim 🤓
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There was too much wind in the morning for another paddle so spent some time cleaning out and repacking the car, throwing away any items that I hadn't used for the last two months, no point in keeping those!
Although it was a great spot on the water, the campsite was a walk-in on a slope so I ended up hating it going up & down endlessly to my car... mental note never to book that again!
Before heading out, I did a small hike along the namesake rapids that the park was created for, but it was hot & humid so not enjoyable.
Time to say goodbye to Onario and off to Manitoba!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wildlife: 1 deer (Dryden), 1 common eastern gartersnake (twice!), 6 bald eagles and 1 loud flying loon (Rushing River/Kenora)
SUPs: two at Rushing River
Hikes: one at Rushing River

One sunny day in August, the Reed family arrived in Granite Falls/Canada.
Looking around for a ranger, it took the Reeds a while to identify the woman in the casual track suit as as the border control clerk. Likewise it took the border control clerk some time to realize that tourists were waiting to get handled. Granite Falls had always been a bit obscure and had fallen into decline even more in the recent years. It was rare for Canadians from outside Ontario, let alone foreigners like the Reeds, to visit.
Skylar: “I’m required to ask your occult states before I can let you proceed.”
Gavin: “A werewolf, a vampire, a mermaid in transition, a half-sixamese and a human.”
Skylar: “Wow. Such an open-minded family, but doesn’t include an android? You must really hate them!”
Daniel: “You have no idea....”
Tumblr media
Skylar: “Anyway, Welcome to Granite Falls! If you are on your way to the campground, would you like a stamp card? The card is available for teen and older and lists objectives you can work towards, for a small prize at the end of your vacation.”
Gavin: “Thanks, we’re g...”
Daniel: “We’ll take three, please!”
Gavin (muttering): Right. Totally not midlife crisis.
The “stamp card” of course is the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration. I thought it would be fun to include the aspiration as an actual plot hook that my sims are aware of.

Canada on a Budget: Affordable Travel Tips and Tricks
Canada is known for its colorful cities and striking landscapes. As such, it can seem like a costly destination for budget travelers. With planning and knowledge, however, walking the Great White North doesn't have to break the bank. From coast to coast: the following are detailed tips to help you go through Canada affordably.
Tumblr media
1. Best Time to Visit Canada
Travel timing is important when it comes to budget-friendly travel. Canada's peak tourist seasons are summer (June to August) and winter holidays—especially in ski destinations like Banff and Whistler.
To save money you may think of paying a visit during the shoulder seasons: late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to October). During these times tourists and prices lessen all while the natural attractions remain accessible.
2. Transportation
Domestic Flights and Alternatives
Given Canada's vast size, flying between cities can be expensive. To cut costs, book flights well in advance and use fare comparison websites like Skyscanner or Google Flights. Low-cost carriers such as Flair Airlines and Lynx Air offer budget-friendly domestic flights.
For shorter distances, buses and trains are economical. Companies like Megabus and Red Arrow provide affordable intercity travel in Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta. VIA Rail offers discounted fares if booked early or during promotions.
Car Rentals and Ride-sharing
In regions with limited public transport: ride-sharing services like Poparide allow you to share rides with locals at reasonable prices. You can also think about car rentals with economy models or car-sharing platforms like Turo for riding to off-the-beaten-path destinations.
Going on a Canadian road trip is a cost-effective way to see multiple regions—be it coastlines or mountain ranges.
3. Accommodation
Hostels and Budget Hotels
Canada has a growing network of hostels, which is especially true in major tourist hubs and cities. “HI Canada” has affordable and clean lodging options. Budget motels and hotels—especially in smaller towns—can be surprisingly inexpensive.
Tumblr media
Camping and Alternative Stays
Camping is a cost-effective way for outdoor lovers to stay close to nature. Parks Canada manages many campgrounds across provincial and national parks. In addition, platforms like Campertunity and Hipcamp connect travelers with private campgrounds.
4. Food
Dining out in Canada can no doubt be pricey. Here, then, are strategies that can help you save:
Cities like Toronto and Vancouver have food truck scenes having affordable and diverse meals on offer.
Small, family-run ethnic restaurants normally serve big portions at low prices. Little Italy, Chinatown, and other cultural neighborhoods are good places to see.
Shopping at grocery chains like Walmart and No Frills along with FreshCo for snacks or ready-to-eat meals can cut your costs.
Many casual restaurants and pubs have daily specials or happy hour discounts.
Tumblr media
5. Attractions
Outdoor and Nature Activities
For those wanting mountains to visit in Canada: destinations like the Coast Mountains in British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains in Alberta have views and adventure opportunities lying in store.
Urban Adventuring
Many Canadian cities have free or donation-based attractions. Mount Royal in Montreal has city views and Stanley Park in Vancouver is great for walking or cycling. Museums normally have free entry days; the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, for instance, is free on Wednesday evenings.
6. Money-saving Tips
Many cities have tourist passes that bundle attraction entry and transit for a discount. Examples include the Montreal Museum Pass and the Toronto CityPASS. Groupon and other deal websites normally offer discounts on activities, tours, and dining.
7. Currency Management
Foreign transaction fees can add up. To minimize banking costs, then, opt for travel-friendly credit cards with no foreign transaction fees. Using local ATMs instead of currency exchange kiosks normally yields better exchange rates.
Tumblr media
8. Volunteering and Work
For long-term travelers: volunteering or working can chip in for costs. Programs like WWOOF Canada allow you to work on organic farms in exchange for lodging and food. Similar opportunities are there through HelpX and Workaway.
9. Regional Destinations
Certain Canadian regions have more budget-friendly experiences:
The Maritimes are known for seafood and coastal beauty along with friendly communities. These provinces have lower dining and accommodation costs.
Cities like Montreal and Quebec have European charms without European prices. Many free festivals and affordable public transit make these cities wallet-friendly.
Prairies are normally overlooked provinces that have affordable cities and striking landscapes. These include Grasslands National Park and Riding Mountain National Park.
For those wanting thrills: there are many adventure places in Canada that you must visit. These include whitewater rafting in the Ottawa River or the trails of Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland.
Final Verdict
Traveling across Canada on a budget needs flexibility and creativity. In exchange, though, it has rewards in store. Time your visit wisely and use budget transport along with looking out for affordable accommodations.
Doing the aforementioned you can let yourself visit Canada without overspending. Embrace the journey and see what memories come without a hefty price tag.

James somerton saying there are no campgrounds in ontario is the funniest shit ive heard all week. I lived in a town for a while where the leading hobbies of residents were camping and hiking. My mom drove across the province only staying at campsites because her dog wasnt allowed in most hotels. My birthday gift for years was to go camping. Camping is so integral to what ontario is. Im. Im dying lmao
i literally cannot stop thinking about it. ontario has no campgrounds. ontario is a vast and impenetrable desert and every few minutes a stray tumbleweed blows by
