It's Thursday night, (use your imagination and go with me on this) and we are finally in Lundbreck Falls. Cat picked me up around 2:00ish is the afternoon and after a quick stop for gas we were on our way. Of the course the longest part of the trip seemed to be just getting out of town. That Deerfoot trail has a way of testing one's patience.
We arrived at the campsight and though slightly disappointed that our favorite spot was taken, we had a pick of most of the tent sights. Unfortunately (and only slightly) Cat's 10 foot tent would only fit into a couple of sights. We wanted to be near the water so the sight we chose, although nice, was the farthest from the parking lot; which meant fartherest from the wood sight; farthest from the water pump; farthest from the washrooms. Now some might think this a good thing, but for four middle age ladies, who were hydrating during the day and boozing during the night, the outhouses were a little far to get too. You didn't stand around wondering when you should walk over, because by then, it might be too late. Having said that, Cat was the brave one, and said as long as it was ten feet away from our site, any tree was fair game.
So Cat got the ten foot tent set up (I was the silent partner) and we got the air beds made up just before the rain came. We hoped back into the van and headed into Blairemore for a bite too eat. Found a cute little bistro and had a fantastic pizza between the two of us. Stopped at Timmy's so Cat could get her triple, triple and we headed back to the campsite. We unloaded everything else and sat around the camp fire. When it was time for bed, Cat couldn't understand why we had to put the coolers back in the van. "Bears" I explained. "In this part of the camp area - it's too populated." Now this is my fourth time in four years at Lundbreck and we used to come here all the time as kids, and although not once I have ever seen a bear here, I was just under the impression it was a camping rule and we followed it.
Nice large tent for two people - lots of moving space.
BODY: Tired
MIND: Relaxed.
