(written on July 25th from notes taken previously) Waking up at the Wapta Falls recreation site was similar to waking up at Mount Adams last week: The clouds were low, the mountains socked in, then and this morning. At Mount Adams, I caught brief glimpses of the cone, and here, I caught some glimpses of … Continue reading 2024-10-16 (Wednesday) — Lussier Hot Springs

(written on the 25th from notes taken previously) After I woke up, I again just wanted to spend some time alone. The mountains were still socked in with clouds and mist and what not, but I was able to take a few pictures of beautiful scenery that was below the cloud level. I went over … Continue reading 2024-10-15 (Tuesday) — Echoes of New Zealand

(written on the 25th from notes taken previously) The morning in the campground was peaceful. I noticed an owl had perched itself on the branch of one of the evergreen trees surrounding our little campsite. I grabbed the bear spray and headed down to take a walk at the river, in the hopes of seeing … Continue reading 2024-10-14 (Monday) — Jasper

(written on the 25th from notes taken previously) I woke up today, a lot on my mind. I wandered around a little bit, took some pictures. But my mind is elsewhere... I think we ate breakfast, and then we headed over to the dock where boats launch, so my mom could wash her glasses in … Continue reading 2024-10-13 (Sunday) — Robson

(written on the 25th from notes taken previously) It was probably around 11:00 when my mom went to bed, and I came back to the fire. Nancy came back to the fire as well, and we started talking. And talking. ...and talking. Gosh, we talked about so many things. About life, top to bottom. About … Continue reading 2024-10-12 (Saturday) — Broken

(written on October 24th from notes taken previously) I was the first out of the van this morning, wandering around the campground and then down to the river again. Wander, wander, wander. When I got back, mom and Nancy were starting to be up and moving around, and we set one of the picnic tables … Continue reading 2024-10-11 (Friday) — Campfire Songs

(written on the 24th from notes taken previously) In the morning, I had a bit on my mind, so I walked around a bit and decided to walk down to the river--bear spray in hand. I walked and walked and walked. I thought about taking a bath, but it was cold, and the sun hadn't … Continue reading 2024-10-10 (Thursday) — Dawson Lights

(written October 24th from notes taken previously. Good crap, I'm so far behind. 😬) First thing after getting up and doing normal morning things was to get our little butts over to the local visitor center to learn about the camping laws. In the states, we were able to just park off of Forest roads … Continue reading 2024-10-09 (Wednesday) — Wells Gray, Provincial Park

(written on the 22nd from notes taken previously. Originally, I had part of this written as having happened on the 7th, but I don't remember at this point. My notes say fixed morning of the 8th... so... I'm moving all that stuff about finding and fixing to the 8th. Maybe happened part on one day … Continue reading 2024-10-08 (Tuesday) — Baking Canada

(written on October 17th from notes taken previously) We woke up in front of my mom's Friend's place, and I just stayed in the van while she visited with her friends for a couple hours or so. They knew me as a little child, but I never really knew them even though they were friends … Continue reading 2024-10-07 (Monday) — Baker’s Gas
