On The Road Again... FINALLY

Okay, so I just logged in and Blogger reminded me that I haven't posted anything since January. That's a little embarrasing... especially since I said I was going to be getting into the habit of regular posts. In my defense, I've been a bit busy. In my prosecution (opposite of defense?) I've mostly been busy playing World of Warcraft. Sorry. :)

Well, I'm finally doing something worthwhile again.. travelling! I'm up in Killarney right now with my parents, Graydyn, and Jay. Oh, and of course Zoe is here too. :) Gray, Jay, Dad, and I have just come out of the interior of Killarney Park where we camped for a couple days of lovely Deacon Lake. Now we're at Killarney Mountain Lodge where we are going to spend the next week relaxing. From here on in it's nothing but good food and lots of hiking and swimming.

Had a great camping trip. It was about a 4 hour paddle in to the lake, with a few lift-overs to actually get into the lake, so we didn't see very many people once we got there. I got to try out my newest piece of gear; a very cool hammock-tent. The basic idea is that it's a hammock that is completely enclosed by a bug net and has a tent fly that sits over it. The end result is a hammock that is also a fully functional tent. No sleeping on the ground for me!

I'd post pictures at this point, but the net connection here is very slow (roughing it) and I think it would take forever. I'll try to get some pictures posted when I get home. With any luck I'll actually remember to do it too! :)

That's all for now. I might try to make it on a few more times during the week for brief status updates.
