We spent today in the campground.  It was rather drizzly all morning.  Enid went for a walk in the morning around the campground.  I tried to walk on the  river trail; however, when I got to the bridge it was … Continue reading →

Our last day was very nice.  It was a bit cloudy as we packed up and then ate breakfast, but is began to clear.  We hiked to Linda Lake.  The trail leaves directly from the campsite, and it seems quite … Continue reading →

We had a bit of the ham that was leftover from last night’s supper, together with oatmeal, for today’s breakfast.  It was a beautiful warm and sunny day.  We hiked to McArthur Lake and saw mountain goats on the side … Continue reading →
