Home of the Great Outside

So last weekend, a bunch of us decided to cash in on some of the free camping that is available in this beautiful province of ours. After some searching, in and out of dirt roads and provincial parks, we found the perfect spot. We were lucky to find anything on Canada Day long weekend let alone a completely secluded site with our own little private creek and enough space for three tents. The first night it was just the four of us, Sean, Anita, Lucas and me. We were joined by Alex and John the following night (which my batteries were dead for). It was a really amazing time, being that secluded, able to make as much noise as you want AND not have to pay a penny for it. It's about time we started utilising this little benefit of the Canadian outdoors. However we did manage to bring up some technology including several digital cameras. Here are some of the photos, I may post more when Sean gets his photos up online.


This is our tent, I liked this photo because of the way the fire looks


In this picture you can kind of see the little bridge off to the left that went over our creek

Here is the other side of the campsite

The Campsite


During the day on Sunday we headed to Chilliwack Lake, which I had never been to. It is so beautiful and very very cold. After visiting the very very busy main beach, Anita remembered that the day before she had noticed a path that led to the water and perhaps there would be less people there. Well there was no one there and we a little private beach all to ourselves for the afternoon. It was beautiful and very relaxing.
