For so many years, when I lived in Ontario, the summer meant taskings away from my normal place of duty to augment summer training in Meaford or Borden. Since being in Alberta this hasn’t been the case and I have had the great pleasure of being able to go camping in the mountains during the summer months.


Camping in Ontario is ok, it’s regulated and has no mountains. When I moved to Alberta I discovered random camping.
This, our last camping trip, was a most excellent way to wrap up our summer and test our new camping gear.
Both Jody and I love being outdoors, hiking and soaking in nature, I like fishing but don’t have to catch anything whereas Jody loves to hook the big ones and to hunt.
I am not into hunting.
For those of you that know me you may have guessed that I also had my knitting; no matter where I go I always have a project with me. And of course I have my camera because I never know what I will encounter especially in the mountains.



View up and down the river we were camped next to the river and Jody is fishing I am knitting.





Some flora and fauna of the area which is called Beehive Natural Area.
This area has random camping along with areas that are off limits which are untouched bee habitats. We had a great stay in the mountains, enjoyed the peace and quiet, sunny skies with some rain, toasty warm campfires and just chillaxing. I am looking forward to this years trip already.
I hope everyone, everywhere is well, staying home and staying safe. Have a great day Canada!
