Where are you headed Sunburnt? We will miss your wonderful photos that boggle our minds or make us laugh. Hope you aren't headed anywhere that has this heat and humidity. But if so take care of yourselves. Are you driving, flying, cruising or all three? Please have a safe trip and enjoy your vacation.

Driving to the English River area of Ontario for the first three weeks then the Guanella Pass area here in Colorado for most of September.

Thank you for the good wishes.

I'm thinking the English River area is in the northern part of Ontario? Never heard that term before.

We made it home! For about three days then we're off again...til mid-October!

A funny that happened in English River: Now, keep in mind this community might have 20 people that live there. In the early morning hours of August 9th a Molson beer semi ran off the road about 500 meters from the camp entrance. All the Locals where "WooHoo, free beer!". But the company sent an insurance adjust out from Thunder Bay, by the time he got there and did his thing it was late afternoon and he says, "I can't let ya pick though the beer along side the highway but I don't care what ya do after it goes to the dump." So, we helped the locals pick through the beer...one couple got 40 cases, another guy got about 350 bottles and another couple hauled out THREE pickup loads! Needless to say we didn't have to buy any beer.

We also got to see the dancing Northern Lights on the way home. Beautiful!

The outfitter gave us a smokin' deal on two guided moose hunts, so we have to be back on 9/23. DH got his bear but I did not but I can still hunt bears when we go back.

LOL, I am getting a great mental image of the beer scramble! :)

One day I am going to see the northern lights if it kills me. I had them as my desktop image for ages. Seeing that in RL would be awesome.

Have a great time on this next trip. I'm thinking you need to get a wireless laptop so you're not away from here for so long! We miss you! :hug2:

I'll have to get the pics others took of people digging thru stuff at the dump. It was a hoot.

If next fall starts looking anything this fall has turned into, a laptop is going to be a must get.

Welcome home, SBB. Even if it is only for a few days, it's good to see you here.

That beer story is priceless. I hope you can come up with some pictures to share.

Have a good time on the next leg of your trip. I'm looking forward to this fall when everyone is finished with their "adventures" and back here where they belong. ;)

Oh that beer story is a real hoot :lickingli
glad you are back briefly SBB, missed all your posts and pics.
An update to the visit with Sli and Ang in Chicago last month. Over the weekend I had my garage sale and finished the roll of film I had in the camera that I started when you were here. I was so looking forward to getting it developed so I could send them to you guys. Well after 36 pics I got to wondering how could this roll of 24 be soooo long, hmmmmm opened the camera and NO FILM was in it.
Booooohoooooo...........I never had any film in the camera when we were in the restaurant etc................I am kickin my self in the pants big time. Sorry I messed up.
Just was so excited to get together I forgot to put the film in. :duh:
