You know you’re getting old when you go to to the “near beer” section of the grocery store and think, maybe I should try it? (Nah!) 😉

Note To Self: Important Things To Bring For Your First Weekend Opening The Campsite

This blog post is basically a “note to self” for next year as between closing up last year on a beautiful day which had us very distracted (I think Shea even went out on the boat with her folks for part of the day!), not doing a good job of tracking what was put into […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Echo Lake Summer (Summer 2017)

A video I cut of the many highlights of the first year we had a seasonal camp site at Echo Lake Provincial Park.  A year of Covid really makes you appreciate all these little moments – having various family and friends to our campsite, shared meals, laughs around the campfire, sleepovers, meeting random strangers.

Music Monday – “‘Cause I’ve been lost on them back roads/And many times, I’ve gone blind/Losing faith in my family/Had drew me out my damn mind”

Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we listen to non-stop every summer (including a few by Ryan Bingham who also stars in the show as a singing cowboy.) “Southside of […]

Music Monday – “I still remember momma walking down the living room stairs/And daddy saying with a smile, “that’s my girl right there”/They had their share of ups and downs/And I saw the best, and the worst, and the work, and the worth it.”
