A short drive was in order today. We’ve been covering quite a bit of territory and the travel was long. This ain’t no sports car we’re drivin’.

So we headed for Mount Carleton provincial park (and down to three puppies: but they progress at a remarkable rate and the sleepy little helpless bundles we took possession of two weeks ago are now demanding little buggers who quickly tire of their toys and try to run off when we gather them up. They’re a handful.)

This is an extremely well run park with good solid rules. The quietness is very welcome and we made it a bit of a relaxing Sunday.

A fierce thunderstorm hit us in the evening and we were obliged to take refuge in the RV. We have no cellular or internet coverage here so it was back to books and red wine—not so bad.

Bathurst tomorrow.
