I Wanna Go Back

On Saturday, in honour of Normy's study break, we decided to try to give him an actual break and rented a camp on the Miramichi. Because I knew of such a great spot that could be had for a ridiculously low price we ended up back at the Betts-Kelly Lodge. This trip was a little bit different than my last trip up there in February. We we blessed with above seasonal temps on the weekend so when we (the early birds: the married boys who weren't out the night before and the idiot that agreed to name his house the meeting spot (me))arrived at the camp at 1pm the sun was high in the sky and beaming on the South-facing deck. I spent the next four hours there, shirtless and loving it, wondering if there was any place I would rather be right now. The answer was no.

The rest of the crew rolled in around 4 and tried in vain to fish without a boat in a spot that you need a boat to fish. That experiment lasted about 20 minutes. At that point we switched to washers. Darkness cut the tourney short and we were forced inside to the poker table. All the while the barbecue was going on the deck and we were constantly packing away steak, sausage, burgers, etc. The day's diet actually reminded me of this commercial:

After all the consumption of a day on the deck by the river I actually had a hard time breathing when I laid down for bed. That can't be a good sign. And thus ended that experiment.

I'm glad we got to get back to that beautiful camp and got to spend some nice down time with the boys. It doesn't get much better...

Since I missed Flashback Friday I give you this belated gem:

Pace out.
