I have been so busy lately
that I don't get any chances to go out hiking or packing,
So not many chances to sleep in my hammock.
So, when I was looking at the logistics of a job I had
to move a fine Fellow and his wife to Vernon 200+ miles / 350 Km away . . .
. . . i thought . . . hey I could hang for this . . . I mean during this
The timing would be load in the morning leave by 1300hr
arrive at 1900hr, and unload in the morning.
Wit me needing a place to stay for the night
I decided to Hang in my clients new back yard,
with his permission of course, and yes He did think it was a little weird.
On the way home of course, as I was in no hurry, with a day off the following day,
I decided to pick a camp ground close to home, Just before Christina Lake.
I pulled in late, and the lady, takin' a likin' to my business name,
pulled the rate from $36 a night to $14
As a side note: I thought it was very cool to pull into Vernon at 6:30 ish
and
as the Vernon Army Cadet Camp straddles the Hwy
and the final Parade was in commotion at that time.
So I stopped to do a little reminisce . . .
. . . and wouldn't you know it, they were about to do what I did 40 years ago to date,
They were about to fire the ""Fue de Joie"" Fire of Joy
and I filmed it for me and all who might be interested
