One can ask where one day ends and the next begins.. for me it’s when we set up camp.  Setting up camp signifies the end of the one adventure and the starting of another..  Sometimes that adventure starts that night – or at 2 AM in the morning..

After we had tried to find the backroad to Tulameen from Wells Lake with BushPiggy we headed back to the campground and thought it might be time to join in the fun.  We grabbed the marshmallows and headed down with the others to see what was on the agenda and see what a “group” camp involved – the smells off the grill were intoxicating.  There was a lot of commotion as people were settled in, Gavman and his friend Raymond had just shown up with a couple Toyotas following – so there was no midnight rescue missions of going back that would be needed.

Jordy brought over chairs and we sat down for a bit, me with my marshmallows all set to roast them over those coals that looked so perfect – Bruce had the grill set over the campfire with a pan full of perogies that had onions in them – but alas one thing was missing… what would that be?  Hmmm Garlic.. the finishing touch to the perfect meal that he was making.. he pulled out the biggest container of Garlic I’ve ever seen – would last us about 2 weeks!

I sat down and put the marshmallow on it’s stick and indulged in that delicacy of all delicacies - .. you know when you take the marshmallow and just slightly burn the top layer then wrap your lips around it and slowly take it off.. and underneath it’s warm and gooey.. where the whole marshmallow is starting to slowly melt off the stick.. and you turn it just right and then thrust it back into the coals to get the next layer toasted just as tantalizing…

We continued to visit and get to know people, and there were some good laughs in amongst the times.  As the night slowly came on, the Blood Collectors were less noticeable, the generator was turned on – and much to my surprise I didn’t even notice it(That’s impressive! And non intrusive.. really cool) the lights quietly glowed.  Jordy and I craving a bit of togetherness escaped off to our Shaugnessey division camping locations.. Then at 2 AM heard some commotion.. so it was likely a good thing we were a bit away so we could sleep..
