Bonnechere

The video shows two days and I put on a brave face.

We arrived at Bonnechere Provincial Park just before noon, even though our site check-in wasn't officially until 2 pm. The park office told us that we could take our site if it was vacated, and when we drove past site 124, we could see the residents were in the midst of packing up.

We drove to a parking spot near the entrance of the park, across from a hiking trail, and decided we'd spend some time wandering while we waited for our site to free up. My neck was starting to bother me but wasn't too bad, at the moment, so I took some video footage whilst exploring the hiking trail.

That's where my latest YouTube video starts.

The mosquitos and deer flies were bad on the trail, and we figured that the residents of the site were gone, so we got back into the car and drove to lot 124, finding it empty. My neck was sore but I popped a few Tylenol and Advil, and we set up our tent and eating area.

The rest of that story can be read in Friday's blog post.

I went to bed that Saturday, wondering if we would only pack up and go home the next morning, but apparently the muscle relaxants, muscle-pain ointment, and two strong margaritas helped. I woke up on Sunday feeling stiff but not sore, so DW and I took advantage of the reprieve and kayaked up the Bonnechere River.

You can see that video here. Have a break and take a look.

Do me a solid: if you like my kayaking videos (or my travel videos, for that matter), please subscribe to my YouTube channel. Now that I'm retired (for now), I plan to release a video each week.

I haven't had the kind of pain that I experienced that weekend, though the tingling in my neck and left shoulder continue. I have a physio appointment for next week.

Happy Tuesday!
