Canada Day Weekend Bliss

I haven't had such a good time in years. No rushing around to view sightseeing places. No dates and timing places to meet. Just pack your gear and spend a weekend out in the woods
Eat, sleep, hike, banter around a campfire. Watch the stars at night. It's rather magical.

I haven't done a camp out since...hmm.... 1990. Egads! It's been that long since. Sigh.... what ever happened to the time?

Our own private beach, the water was somewhat nippy for a swim...brrrr .. but I did go for a did, a traditional Canada Day plunge and to refresh after the afternoon hike.

Wow! This is incredible! This view is so majestic!

I used to camp out about 30 days a year during my teenage days. Haven't done that for ages now. :(
 
My friend, you are living the rich life right now. Kudos to you.
