Day 6 – Packing mishaps & shelter from the storm

Polaroid-6-1024x768We’re having just as much fun in our campsites as we are out exploring on the road. And when you carry your home with you from place to place, that’s pretty important. This little tent-trailer is crammed full of video and photography equipment, several beds, all our personal gear, and an overflowing refrigerator. We’re getting fairly good at packing ‘er up quickly, and even better at opening ‘er up and setting up the nest for the evening. Sometimes we’re a bit too quick at the packing, and small yet necessary items are safely locked away — for example, motorcycle keys. But we’re also getting good at recovering such items without unpacking completely… although this sometimes requires ungainly butt-out squirming contortions on the side of the highway.

Today we spent the morning relaxing on the the rusty-coloured beach at Bonnechere Provincial Park with coffee from the park store, contemplating a swim, and feeding a brazen chipmunk on our picnic table. This afternoon we set up camp at the lovely Sid Turcotte Park on the banks of the Mattawa River, and watched the sunset from our little mobile office. In the middle, we traversed several weather patterns as we rode north on Highway 17 — the rainy part followed us to Mattawa, luckily arriving after we’d set up the trailer. It sure is nice to be cozy.

(Yes, mom, those are your tea towels).
