Well I just got back today from a 5 day road trip with two really good friends of mine. We went to Edmonton to go to the mall and see all about it -- it was awesome.
We also camped the 4 nights in this campground area and that wasn't too bad. We actually live to tell about it now.
One night there was a thunder storm that lasted a good 3 hours, and it surrounded us completely (oh ya and it struck about every 10-15 seconds). So I stayed up until about 1:30 am and then descided to go to sleep and as soon as I did so there was this huge lightening that hit somewhere in the campground. So needless to say my friends and I were up really really fast and we did feel the ground shake. Now that is one night I don't think I'll forget for a very long time.
The next night, we heard some yelling way after midnight and someone was saying fire, so I am awake and kinda creeped out because fire in tents or trailers is nasty, but no it wasn't in a tent or trailer it was by the oil well that was a short distance away... YIKES! So 2 big firtrucks come in and check it out. I didn't hear much about it the next morning though so I don't know what happened.
Here's a couple random points:
--- Edmonton is screwed up the way they set up the city
--- The SUV we took had good mileage haha
--- Bring a really large tarp camping - it makes things so nice and dry!
--- Digital cameras can capture lightening pretty well
--- I have yet to post pictures :P
Camping is pretty interesting in thunder storms.... hey camping is pretty interesting everywhere.
That was one awesome road trip if I do say so myself. And I only said those couple stories
Well I am off for now.
The First of hopefully many
Well, I have no clue where to start really. I have a bunch of family that have blogs so I thought to make one for myself.
For the last few months I have been working at Stillwood Camp and it has been amazing! The staff are awesome to be around and it is so much fun. I am in charge of the girls in 'work-crew' (and I am the facility crew leader too) and it can get pretty challenging at times. Two more weeks are left and they are going to be the most challenging yet.
Well my sister is kicking me off the computer now so I have to get going.
