Day twenty: Life moves slower up north

Just so you all know, I am having a blast camping! Yesterday, we sat around the campsite, played ladder golf (more details on THAT game later), had an early dinner and then took a ride.

There are six of us up here, so we loaded up into the suburban and went moose hunting about an hour before sunset. We don't hunt, per se; we just like to see if we can find any and take pictures! After about 45 minutes of driving on the dirt roads, we came across a black bear!! It was the first I've ever seen up close (outside of a zoo). Unfortunately, I didnt get any pictures because he ran away too fast :( But I did get some good pics on my Nikon of two moose that we saw! This cell phone cannot take pictures fast enough, so I can't post any today, but I do have some nice shots of the local scenery!!

This sign is just a small testament to the way people live up here. Everyone is friendly; everyone goes out of their way to help anyone else out.

This was out campfire last night. The boys went for a ride yesterday morning and came back with hollow logs. When you put one over the fire, it burns straight up through and it's gorgeous!

This is one of my friends, walking through a small bog. He said it was really cold!!

These next few are of the freshwater spring we go to to get our water. We don't drink it, but it works great for cleaning, cooking, and putting out a fire!

Driftwood is my favorite wood!!

This tree is at Lily Bay State Park. The shore has washed away and all that remains are the roots. I thought it looked cool and I hope you do too. I will be returning Sunday morning, so I will make my Sunday post loaded with pictures!! :)
