Three-day hiking trip on Ilvesreitti, Finland, with my dog!

Ilvesreitti (Lynx trail) is a 250 km long trail network in southern Finland. This time I'm exploring new parts of it with my dog, Rokka the Alaskan malamute. We have three days to hike and camp as we wish. The early May weather seems deceptively sunny, the trails are quiet, and we camp alone.
