Charles Hodgson posted an update: 6 hours, 52 minutes ago · View Of tulips and tips
Ken added a link here to some photos of the tulips at MacKenzie King Estate.
But something went wrong; at first his pics didn’t show up. Even the link to his pics didn’t show up.
What happened? Well Ken included a link to his photostream at flickr and GuideGatineau tried to convert that flickr URL directly into a picture. If you plunk a single picture URL into either the comments at GuideGatineau or the activity stream it will do that successfully. But the website recognized the URL as being flickr so suppressed the link, but couldn’t figure out which image it should show, so didn’t show anything at all.
So the tip is this. Please do add flickr pictures, but do so using the individual picture URLs. -

* to identify the Park as an NCC entity; and
* to communicate to visitors the key messages of the Park’s conservation mandate.
A total of $2.4 million will be invested in this project… -

Charles Hodgson wrote a new blog post: Climbing on Boulders 10 hours, 39 minutes ago · View Last month at the Climbers’ Coalition info session “bouldering” was said to have gone largely unmentioned in the NCC’s documents restricting rock climbing in Gatineau Park. Bouldering is different from rock climbing in that climbers are usually not using ropes, in part because the heights are less due to boulder climbing being done not on [...]
