A trip north and back.

My kids were here for two weeks. This week, I took them back to their home in Smithers. 

​I drove up on Monday:

We did a few things together, but the kids were mainly happy to be home. It''s good to see them so happy with their lives.

​I drove back yesterday.

Now I'm pretty-much broke for the summer. I had to do some car repairs and the trips to Victoria and Smithers, so I expect to spend most of the rest of the summer in Agassiz. 

But it was good, so good, to see the kidlets.

Some time over the last couple days, I broke 50000 views on Panoramio. I don't know if that's a milestone, but it sounds cool.

They haven't updated their "view on map" thing for a couple years. Alas.

Mayne Island.

This weekend, my wife and I had the opportunity to stay at the Mayne Island Resort on Mayne Island. I haven't visited nearly as many of the Gulf Islands as I would have liked, so I was very glad to get to spend a couple days there. 

Although the resort offered many amenities, I can't say I did much. I walked to and from Village Bay a couple times, which was more entertaining to me than it sounds. 

We had a good time, I think. Here are some photos and a little video, too.

Music-wise, I've been working on some loops for a new project. Still hoping to get some songs mastered in July with my cousin in Victoria.

In the meantime, I've been taking lots of photos. Here are a few digital ones from a recent trip to 100 Mile House.

Some roadwork gave me the opportunity to take a picture I'd always hoped to take.

Glamping at Jones Lake.

I've never been drawn to camping. I'm not a fan of getting dirty and find its setup rather instensive for what I get back from it. Besides, I've never wanted to invest in all the camping gear that all my backpacking friends liked to acquire.

This weekend we went "glamping," where we took the RV up to Jones Lake, between Hope and Chilliwack, BC. Somehow, the beast climbed all those hills and found its way into the campsite. Yay for old-school, trustworthy tech! Carburetors all the way, baby.

For the first time, we're using our recreational vehicle for bona fide RECREATION. We're not living in it; we're not using it for storage; it's not an elaborate spare room. We're at a campsite and we're camping. #RV #recreationalvehicle #camping #weekendwarrior #campsite #nofilter

On Friday night, we spent the night at Othello Tunnels Campground in Hope, BC, but the others in our party found the passing trucks unbearable. I didn't really notice the trucks because I didn't know any better. But we packed up and drove up the forest road to Jones Lake.

And the sounds of nature were sonorous. And the sky was jammed with stars and a few planets. And it didn't really take that long to set up or tear down. And the beach was covered with sand and glass, but the girls had a good time. And I had a good time too, although I was admittedly antsy. 

At one point, my S5's battery died because we forgot the car charger. Fortunately, I'd decided to bring the old Blackberry Torch, which I initially intended to be my daughter's camera for the trip. I used the Torch for quite a few photographs, including the one of frogs in the top-right corner. It was fun to use the old-school cameraphone, but it was also a good reminder of the severe superiority of the S5. The novelty of the Torch's camera wears off quickly.

It's good to know about the campsite. I will return there. I'd like to return sometime without needing to stress out about the RV's tires and whatnot, perhaps just to go there with the kids.
