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.
