Raptor's Journal

I guess I should update this thing once in a while.

This was taken at Elk Island National Park back on May 22, where Jenn took me for my birthday and we hiked and picnicked and took photos and learn some very interesting things about the history of the place (namely how successful it has been at repopulating species that were hunted nearly to extinction).

On to more current events.

Jenn and I just got back from a Kung Fu camping trip at Mink Lake, where we stayed since Friday evening. Not a terrible campground, I guess, but too close to a highway and busy railway, sites are too close together without enough tree coverage separating them, and not enough tree cover to separate the sites from the lake. And too many noisy seagulls.

Aside from complaints about the site, it was cold and windy when we got there, and then cool and breezy the next day, and then hurricane force winds this morning, cold, and a bit rainy during breakfast this morning.

But overall it was still pretty fun.

Tomorrow morning we head out on our drive to Vancouver, a bit of Seattle, and perhaps other points beyond, where we'll be for the next couple of weeks. Whee! Vacation!
