Okay, I’m behind a little bit. Lets rewind a couple of weeks ago for my
first camping outing of the year. I
headed out to Two Jack Lake in Banff National park. It was great, as always. It was a fairly quiet weekend and there were
loads of choice spots to choose from.
For a little while I was the only person on the entire loop. I settled in, started a fire, cracked a beer
then cracked my book. The peace and
solitude was amazing. I’m not complaining
but the peace soon ended as the RVs started arriving.
Next to me a big RV pulled in and a really nice German
couple were my neighbors for the night. Christoph,
Isabelle and Levi. I invited them over
to share the fire and have a beer. Other
than loving the Westy, it turns out that Christoph and the family are trekking
across Western Canada and into the US, Alaska and into the Arctic Circle. Apparently it’s been a dream of Chris’ to go
that far north. He’s been doing his own
blog of sorts. Check it out here http://trackmytour.com/Xg2sv . They
had a little trouble with the visa for little Levi and had to hang around
Calgary for a little bit so I suggested they head out towards Drumheller. They had a great time and even stopped into
my place for some burgers and Smores for dinner one night before hitting the
open road again.
That
weekend I also had my friends Nicole and Linda show up. It was really kinda fun. We had a great meal, drank far too much wine
and played Jenga on a picnic table that wasn’t quite level. The interesting thing about the Jenga game
was that it was the “Truth or Dare” version.
The red blocks were the Dares and the black blocks were the Truth. Dares and Truths ranged from exchange an
article of clothing with the person next to you, kiss the person next to you
and so on. It was fairly tame and we
didn’t actually play the Truth or Dare version.
Maybe next time we’ll play and after a few more bottles of wine.
Overall not
a bad weekend.
