Counting down the days …

I guess I am counting down the days till my eventual departure for warmer climes.  But since I have not determined a departure date, the count is somewhat arbitrary.

I think the Bayfield Bunch are pretty much in the same boat, but champing at the bit.  Good to see Al back after a few days break.  John and Brenda have it down to about 4 days till they load their horses and head south.  Wandering Willy is keeping a low blog profile this year (so far), but I think he is about due to head out as well.  Rick and Paulette are loading the new 5’er and getting ready to hit the road.

In the meantime, I have been enjoying the sunny warm fall days and colourful scenery.

It has been freezing now every night, so both the 5th wheel and the truck camper have been winterized – for the time being.

It’s too nice to stay at home, so I have been out driving – usually into the bush on forestry and oil & gas roads.

After a fairly good hike in the bush on foot, where do I see the wildlife, but when I get back into my diesel truck!

Of course there is always ‘wildlife’ in my truck.

Hailey is quite intrigued by ‘AZ’ who is a new star in The Happy Campers blog.  She thinks he is a handsome boy.

And (drum roll), check out my debut on the http://nationalrvparks.com website, where I did a short interview on boondocking!
