Winding Down!

So today is Wednesday the middle of the week that is winding down to the end of my summer! CRAZY! however I need to go back and catch up with last week eh!

So a week ago I spent a couple of days mountain biking at the Minnising Mountain bike trial in the Algonquin park! It was nice to get out and enjoy the park in a different way! The trail was great! but much more rockier than I am used to at home! you had to dodge a lot of boulders and many many tree roots!! Here is a picture of the typical trail!



So on my way home I was scanning the countryside of millions of trees! always on the look out for wildlife! and I spotted a Moose eh ... pulled over got out of the truck and went into the woods to track her down! well here is just one of the end product of that photo shoot!


Hope you enjoyed that one! :) I know I enjoyed the experience!

Here is a picture of me hanging out in an area known as Whiskey Rapids! a little day hiking trail in the Algonquin park that I went on I think it was last Wed.



So that was some of the highlights of last week for me!

This last Friday my good friend Josh left with his group from MI in the morning and then his brother and another good friend as well, Ohh and also my "boss" -- Ben and his son Caden came up for a few days! It was great to see all of them! Ben and I got to spend a few quality days together just catching up and talking shop! which was great! Also got to go to Church here in Huntsville which was great!! Then it was back to work! WE ahve a little over 60 people in the park this week ... One of the groups is a group of 22 that came up from BBC - Clarks Summit PA - that are here on there 3 credit Wilderness trip! It has been great to meet all of these guys and girls and make some good connections at BBC! plus I got to spend time with Dwight Peterson again for a few days! I love that guy! Also up and in the woods for the week are my new favorite newlyweds! Tim & Stacy! it was really good to reconnect with Tim and meet his new wife! They are Awesome! Thanks for the grapes! :)

So I think that brings you up to speed on the events and good times at least for the most part here in the wild wonderlands of the Algonquin and the near north of Ontario Canada! :) I am loving it here but, but yes it is true ... I only have a week or so left of FUN & Games up here! then it is over to PA to visit BBC for a few days and then the long trek home to Iowa ... with a few pit stops along the way! :) looking forward to it Josh & Gwen and Jake & Megan! I hope you leave the light on for me! :)

Ok well I need to work on a few other things here at the Bean my home away from home!!
enjoy the stories and enjoy the pictures!
Love all of you!

Just say when drubie. You might have to sleep among a bunch of uhaul boxes in my living room, but we'd have a blast regardless.
