Fall Camping

[_1nobby]

Fall camping.....love it.

Leaving in about an hour on an overcast, windy and cold September day!

I have 3 nights reserved at Killbear Provincial Park......it was supposed to be a crew bonding weekend....myself and my 8 crew members....the last 2 guys bailed out 6 days ago....legitimate reasons. So they all bought me $60 worth of Stella beer.

I am determined to drink it and smoke my Cuban cigars.

And I'm bringing 3 books....Nobette might make an appearance Sat. night after work but for the most part......rest and BEER.
:):)

The "shoulder" seasons in Ontario are great!

We camp less in the summer now that the kids are grown and enjoy not having to fight the crowds.

Heading out next weekend.

I'm going to book one more "3 day weekend" probably after Canadian Thanksgiving. I should have my pick up waterfront sites, at that point.

I love fall camping!

Ain't called Killbear PP for no reason! :R Yeah, we humans are scaring them off for the most part ... but not always. :W Heck, we had a black bear wandering around Inverhuron PP last year. :E

We were actually on their website last night and looks like the Park will be undergoing a major renovation in Campground 2 beginning Jan. 2017 until August 2017.

Yes that is what I was told when I called and change my stuff. We were in campground 1 site 17 and it is under going some maintence work starting in November so we had to move to campground 2 and got site 87. Hopefully the weather will be nice the week of November 7

Well folks.....it was just what I needed. 3 days off of nothingness.

And believe it or not....it rained everywhere this weekend except in the area of the park. It got cloudy but never rained.

Bear in the camp night #1 around 10:30 PM...scared the **** outta me. But I used an air horn in a can, a whistle and a bright flash light to scare the **** out of him!

Walked behind my trailer at dusk of day 2 and that was it....no more sightings and no problems.

And I reserved a site but when I got there switched to a site in the non-reserve-able section....which meant the whole area was empty and quiet....you know....except for the bear!!!

Left the day school started out here (September 7) and got back this past Thursday, 3 weeks. Black Hills & the Badlands and the North Dakota Badlands. Plenty of folks our age in all the campgrounds there and along the way, but no kids. The trees were turning. Very enjoyable.

Arrived in the Poconos yesterday and leave Monday for southern Vermont. Then on to the Adirondacks and Finger Lakes. Should get home mid October and leave in December for the beach in South Carolina.

I love fall camping too. I rarely get to do it because I work on the farm and I'm in the field in the fall. But, when I can get out I love it. It is true that some of the things close down after Labor Day but, there are still things to do that are different.

I actually enjoy a nice swim in a brisk morning. The water stays warm for quite awhile after the temps start to go down. And, I have the whole beach to myself.
