Last Weekend….
So last week I headed out to Kananaskis Country, (K-country
as it’s called around here). The weather
forecast called for a 40% chance of showers so I figured I was good to go. I headed out Friday after work in a light
rain that slowly intensified on the drive out.
By the time I got to the Blue Rock Campground it was a fairly steady
rain.

It was so
wet and cold I couldn’t even start a fire.
I popped the top and settled in for the evening. After a cold meal and reading I called it a
night.
That night
it poured
That
morning it poured
Finally around
11:00 or so it let up enough that I could start a fire with my wet fire wood
and cook dome food. After a hastily prepared
breakfast I headed out for a walk. I
surveyed the low hanging clouds and decided to chance it. There was a nice looking 2.5 km loop that I thought I’d
try. I dressed and headed out. The path was really nice along the river and
easily walk-able. Due to the recent
rain (see above) and the mountain runoff the rivers were swollen and running
fast.
I’ll continue
this post and add some pictures later
tonight or tomorrow….
