Princeton

I don’t know what got into me but after my meeting I decided I’d go hunting. First I phoned John at Chilliwack RV Storage. He was going to be there until one so I figured I had enough time.

What a rush.  I quickly grabbed my guns and hunting stuff that had got into the Thor.  I had a couple of bags of clothing and my office equipment.

I took down the Starlink to take with me and was off. I had to stop at the storage locker for some more hunting gear, mostly clothing and back packs with safety stuff.

Then I was on the road.  

John was still there.  I transferred my gear from the mini to the truck. The only delay was hooking up the trailer.  I tried to align the truck with the hitch a half dozen times before I got it. John was gone when I left at 115.  His wife had been with him. They’d just returned from a vacation in Netherlands.

I traveled up to Hope stopping to pick up Chilliwack corn and then doing my shopping at Hope store. Next stop Macdonald with a quarter pounder and cheese for me then a burger plain for Madigan.  I had coffee double double and actually had to pull over a couple of times because my eyes were tired. There was smoke in the air.

I got through Manning Park and headed up to Copper Mountain.  It was 6 pm. 

I actually got the quad loaded and went up the road a bit.I’d found when I took out my rifles that I didn’t have the hunting clip for the 223.  I also hadn’t brought the bags with the ammunition. I have a couple of boxes of shot gun shells and some 3006.  I can get by.  I’ve enough. Thank you. I haven’t found one glove though so I would like to find another. 

I saw a covey of grouse but caught my strap on the quad and trying to untangle it watched all three grouse run up the hill.  Still exciting.  Madigan loved it all.  

We came home as the sun was setting. Lovely sunset sky.  I’d left the door open. Nothing stolen. Nothing touched. Only a lot of little flies inside,  No biters and no mosquitoes. It was too cool’

I set up the generator and Starlink. Then put a bottom sheet on the bed. What a hassle. You’re supposed to find the corner but I couldn’t find the corner.  I got it on but it will likely pull up in a night or two. I did get the bed made.

Now I’m barbecuing chiken.  

I feel a little guilty with the generator going but it’s quiet and earlier my neigbour in his RV had his on. There are two RV’s up here.  

I just found out it’s 4 point mule deer and I’m thinking of moving. Yet its’ good for grouse and rabbits and good for work.  I’ve got Starlink and cell coverage and planned to spend a few days here.

Pretty incredible being out in nature. I love the scents.  

Madigan is lying on the table beside me.  We’re both tired.  Two days of activity.

Thank you Jesus for getting me here safely and for everything working out. Thank you for my truck and camper
