Right in the campground. This place gets lite? The only thing left will be the gravel roads and the fire pits ....




It looks like every 4th mature tree is a Roman candle.

I went for a ride down to Maligne lake for lunch. The last time I was here the road was closed because of a fire.

My boot heels are glued and screwed together & the insides are duct taped. I don't have finger tips on my gloves ..... this is beginning to seem weird.
