Hi there!
Back from vacation! A luxurious 14-day road and camping trip to Manitoba!!! The mosquitoes had bibs!! The horse flys wore saddles! Camping is no picnic! Why do I forget from year-to-year how labour intensive it is to camp? Must be like childbirth. Better to forget and do it again than remember and miss out on the hilarity. I'm just now recovering from the mile-high pile of dirty laundry. If there is an easy way to camp please share. I'm starting to re-think my stand on the motor home. By day 8 I was whimpering like a puppy and drooling with envy over the flickering lights from within those grand mansions on wheels while we suffered through another night of camp stove chili and cramped tent-induced arthritis.
One of the best parts of our journey was our first venture into geocaching. If you haven't tried it yet, it's the most brilliant technique to get your kids out for a hike without all the whining and bitching. It's amazing what kids will do for hidden treasure. Geocaching, if you haven't tried it yet, is like a trinket hunt in the forest using a GPS and a hidden treasure "map" off the Internet.
There is a BC geocaching association. Find out more at www.bcgeocaching.com
Many people describe this "sport" as an addiction. It's great way for young families to explore the province "one treasure at a time".
