Ah ha moment…I am a born nomad!
Not much happened today. We woke up and packed up quickly because the wind was already blowing hard. We moved around Boulder Bay to a campsite that was only 2 ½ miles away. The wind was horrendous! Our outfitter had suggested the campsite we got as a “primo site” and he was absolutely right. It had a lot of wooded area to explore with quite a few fallen trees. Not surprising with how the wind howls around here! We explored the area and spent many hours in the tent sleeping. If you haven’t figured it out…I love to sleep! This is one of those campsites I will never forget. It is huge with lots of woods, a nice view, and a huge skull sitting on top of a big rock by the fire pit. However, by the time the day was over, I was kind of sick of the place and wanting to move on. I am a bit nomadic I discovered! I love to move. Base camping probably wouldn’t do it for me.
Around sunset the wind died down as usual. We planned on getting up early and head over to Agnes. We were prayed for calm weather to see us out the next day and a half. We want to leave with a good taste in our mouths.
