This was one of the worst trips home and definitely the longest. The distance that normally takes us 45mins, took 2 hours! It wasn't just the rain, which from above you can see makes seeing difficult and it gets worse when it is dark out. But there appeared to have been 2-3 accidents as well. Making for VERY slow going.
Mother Nature did provide entertainment though. As you can see from these photos once the rain stopped at one point the sky gave us some spectacular views.
So we finally made it to camp at 11pm, 2 hours late! We actually encountered dad on the road to camp, he was headed down to the house to see if we had left any messages. Being 2 hours late they were concerned about our were abouts. We did call around 6pm and left message on cellphones and answering machines, but I also knew they wouldn't get the messages as there is no service at camp and camp has no phone. But at least there was evidence we tried!
Everyone waited up for us though, and it was a beautiful night by the camp fire. We chatted till 1pm before hitting the hay.
Above is Dad and Uncle Larry's new addition to camp. The screen porch. It's great to sit out side in and eat, especially when the buggies are out too! Below is mom and dad's garden at camp. Lots of yummy tomatoes and cherry tomatoes which we got to sample. And the vine in front will soon have pumpkins on it!
Fishing! I really do enjoy fishing. Don't get to do it much, it's a rare treat.
Baha and I were excellent in feeding the fish! ;) We got lots of bits on our line, but we were just not good at hooking them and reeling them in! Buggers!
Austin caught the biggest fish of the day.
While Alan caught the most.
And Dad caught the biggest animal! A snapping turtle. He caught and reeled this bad boy all the way onto shore with a plastic, scooby-do kids fishing pole! Just goes to show, it's not always the equipment that makes the fisherman, but the skill!
Austin and Alan get rides on the cable car across the West Canada. This is a heavily used little contraption in hunting season. And for times like this when the river is high, it's the only way across.
Darn cute group photo! Erica and I sure are sisters (same smile, eyes, shape face).
Aaahhh!
There's a rainbow, look again...See it?
Happy Birthday Dad and Uncle Larry. Yes, they are twins!
Austin and Alan Potter, man they are growing up fast! And cute as buttons if I do say so myself. But they sure do keep you busy.
Dad and his two daughters.
It was just the most amazing night. The moon was full and it was clear and crisp.
I sure do love going to camp. Wish we could visit more. Peaceful, beautiful, excellent air quality, and our camp happens to be the ritz of camps, so not too shabby.
