(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

(written on October 17th from notes taken previously) I woke up later than I think I have pretty much the entire trip so far. I would wake up and then go back to sleep, and then wake up and go back to sleep, finally getting up sometime a bit after 10 :00, I think. Originally, … Continue reading 2024-10-06 (Sunday) — Lincoln Park

(written October 17th from notes taken previously) Well, remember how we crossed our fingers and hoped we weren't going to be bothered at the Love's Travel Stop? Yeah... So there was this security guard that kind of looked a little sketchy Dad that my mom noticed before we went to bed, and come about, oh... … Continue reading 2024-10-05 (Saturday) — No Love’s and Leslie’s

(written October 16th from notes taken previously) We woke up to a clearing in front of us that had been logged a bit and a clearing behind us that had been logged a little bit, and we were on this little road between the two. Output Road in quotes because it was just a connecting … Continue reading 2024-10-04 (Friday) — Hoh, Hoh, Hurricane

(written on the 16th from notes taken previously) I failed to mention that the gas station we stayed at was a Love's. I should probably give them some love because sometimes Love's isn't very friendly. After waking up, we drove over to the Denny's in Centralia so that my mom could visit with one of … Continue reading 2024-10-03 (Thursday) — Son of a… Beach!
