Camping Trip

So I went camping on Swanson River Road. There are plenty of lakes there and room for camping. I got lucky and found a spot all to myself by a cute little lake surrounded by beaver dams. Went around the lake once to check it out. Felt like Bear Grylls when I was navigating through the swampy areas. Swanson River is a popular place for canoe enthusiast, it has a canoe river trail connecting seven lakes I think (?) and takes about a week to complete depending on how long time you need.


Well, the first thing that happened is that the pump to the air mattress broke so I had to blow up the air mattress, good that I have some strong lungs but it still made me a little dizzy.
Then during the night, the air somehow seeped out of the mattress and by the time I woke up I was laying on a deflated air matress. The following night I just slept on the ground basically and that resulted in every bone in my body aching, I thought I would have to have hip replacement surgery in the morning. Still, it was a good time, lots of sunshine and chirping birds, a warm campfire. Chhaya was a happy puppy when camping and a very tired puppy when we got home. She is on high alert when camping, every strange sound in the night gets a growl. And that's a good thing.


Almost midnight and still light out, I love that!


The lonely tree.



Chhaya is reay for bed.


Bear spray is good to have just in case you get a furry visitor, bear or man.


So anyways, it's Memorial Day today. I can tell you that I would not have the physical strenght to be in any form of combat (meaning war), I can run but my upper body is weak. And I would be too scared and probably try to hide somewhere.
As always, I am wishing for peace and understanding because I am a neo hippie. And in the end, the pen is mightier than the sword.


I am laying outside enjoying the weather, I am bundled up because I get cold easy. About to take Chhaya for a walk.......I hope everybody is having a nice day. PEACE! 🙂
