Camp's Ready


As soon as we arrived, we built our tent right away.My kids took turns helping their Dad axed some firewood and had the bonfire ready.


There's no reflection on the water anymore. The mountains didn't provide us with "bottles" (imagery) because the surface of the lake is not that smooth and calm. The images I was seeing is just a ballpen on the left getting ink from a container at the right side of the lake.The noise of the waves keeps coming back and forth like sound waves raging like a hurricane. Anyways there's no hurricane it's just windy and cold. I should have to mention this that I felt a little tremor last night. I didn't tell anybody. That's probably a mild quake. Nothing to worry. It wont even make or appear on the richter scale. Why I'm the only one who felt it? Or they felt it too but hey we don't want to spoil this vacation. I know when there is an earthquake tectonic or seismic. Volcanic? Uhm, is there a hot spring here? Nah. So there's really nothing to worry.

There's no canoe, nor boat at the horizon. Unlike the first time we had our camping in this same site. I'd like to think it's because Friday the 13th. You know SuperNatural BC! O come on, just joking realizing my son is wearing his X-Waves sweat shirt that's why we are greeted with strange waves on this lake.

On our first camping we had two surprise visitors: A man and a woman in uniform. Both asked us if we had fishing license. They asked us about the quantity of fish we caught on this lake. "Do you have firearms?'" the Conservation Officer asked us.

"Firearms?." I asked him back while I was waving my turner on them because I was busy flipping burgers. "So, you are cooking, hmm...the officer looking at me. I snapped back, "Why?" "Are we not allowed to cook?" I think the officers felt embarrassed and just moved on when they cannot find any violations.

On our second camping holiday 3 visitors ( 2 men and a woman) came to visit us and they enjoyed catching trouts. Unfortunately they only caught small fish because they never extend their fishing rods at the middle of the lake. We shared some BBQs (pork, beef, chicken) and beer to our visitors.

It was windy and wavy at the shore. It was part sunny and cloudy. Cooler breeze. Looking at the "sea-like feature" of this lake made me sketch the smiling sun at the sandy shore. How childish I am. But hey it does help bring out sunshine. Make my day a little brighter.
