today's adventures: Logging Roads

 Second Bridge. We've been fishing here, have picked rosehips here, and have wondered what is on the other side of the bridge.

 A view of Kennedy Lake and Second Bridge.

 Logs washed up on shore. The waterline was the highest we've ever seen it, and there was much evidence of higher water levels.

 Tree art? Litter?

 So the campsites (this is an untended free campground, there are no services or garbage buckets here) are mostly on the left side, where water is now.

 Previously one of the campsites was on this side of the trees.

 Another flooded campsite.

 The things I found on the shore...

 When I lived in Victoria, a former co-worker from the library, Jonathan, once remarked on the huge amount of clothing he used to come across in the streets of the city. There were quite a few garments here too.

 An empty campstove fuel container. There was a disturbing amount of these.

 Styrofoam.

 I'm guessing this used to be a pillow or some other fluffy like object.

 The view from the opposite end of the beach.

 Ok this is weird. A painted pole. What was the point of this?

 A faux-Totem pole?

 My new T-shirt. Really. It was in pretty good condition so I salvaged it. It's in the washing machine as I write.

 I like this - someone carved seats out of this log.

 Our new fork.

 View from the spot we ate our picnic lunch. It was cold.

 We kept on our driving adventure and occasionally had to jump out of the truck with our axe and hatchet and play lumberjack so we could get past. This is Before.

 My Sweety!

 Watch out! I have a weapon!

 After. On we go.

Rats. This is the After but the Before for this spot in the road was WAY more impressive. We were here hacking away for a good 20 minutes. I did take a photo but it came out as a blur.

Cat Dome

This looks like a good idea, doesn't it? If your cat is like mine, she can throw litter clear across the room. A friend refers to her cat's Olympic Litter Throwing talent. My cat not only spreads the litter for everyone to step in, whether we like it or not, but she doesn't have the best, er, aim when it comes to doing her business. I don't actually have this dome featured in this photo, my friend Ellie does, and I thought "gosh, that looks like a good idea". Where does one find such a thing? Ellie had her father drag this on the plane from Toronto, but I'm hoping I can find something similar in this province. It would be nice to have something that is not only contained but also esthetically pleasing. If you know about things like this, please get in touch!
