In this episode we take a quick hike on the K access trail to the Nepisiguit Mi'gmaq Trail in wilderness in the northern part of New Brunswick. This 141 kilometre long trail has many access points making it ideal for section hiking it if you don't have the 7 to 10 days it would require to hike the whole thing. It rained and the mosquitos were really thick but the location was beautiful. While waiting under a tree for the rain to recede I was surprised by an animal who was just as surprised to see me.

I also explore the Otter campsite and teepee on the access trail as I lose my GPS and have to go back and find it.
