Thursday evening: return to Rock Lake

[vaneramos]

The weather started to clear that afternoon as we camped on an island on Rock Lake. We made a foray to the mainland, hoping to explore a hiking trail, but felt too tired and sore. We did walk as far as the Barclay Estate, which was occupied until 1953, but found few signs of the old buildings. The place felt haunted, but that eerie quality did not translate in photography. Back at the site after dinner we were treated to some splendid sky patterns as a light rained passed over. It was a brilliant finale to a memorable expidition.

Can I get the big version of the rainbow pic e-mailed to me? John will love it.

Certainly, send an email to vanwaffle AT sprint DOT ca, and I will reply to it. Do you want a particular scale, e.g. 1024 x 768?

Thanks for sharing your expedition with us! I read the whole story and looked at your beautiful pictures with great interest.

Thank you, it was too beautiful not to share. I intend to post my actual handwritten journal entries from the trip as an article at Suite101, complete with more details of everything that went right and wrong. That will probably be more interesting than the synopses written here. I'll post a link once the article is published.
