Deka Lake Dispatches

Today was Cameron day. We went for a wonderful walk with Cameron.

It was the perfect day for a walk in the afternoon. We had Cameron for a visit after taking Kayla to work; lunch at the Interlakes listening to trappers ramble on and then we went for a walk up hill and down dale in the adjacent Crown Lands. My sound effects kept Cameron and Bill laughing during the walk. Whoops, Eeek, Aaaah, I don't think I know how to spell some of the sounds coming from me. I always seemed to go through the snow into small bogs and slide over hidden logs and trip over roots. It was always with a laugh but it was not quite the sounds you would expect on the crispest of snow.

The light was again phenomenal, absolutely moors moody. The snow was soft powder and untrodden. I think Cameron was just along for the "ride" but he put on a brave face. His love is XBox and walking in the snow with his grandparents amused him for a short while. He's grown into such a lovely young boy. We haven't seen much of him since we arrived so this was a very special day for us.

We're waiting for the grader to make it out to King Road. We are the last on his map and you just have to sit and wait. It's still possible to get out so that's not a worry; it's just a little easier with the road graded. Snowmobiles have been down a couple of times (kids) and are always disappointed that the end of the cul de sac does not have a wide access to Crown land. Yay! Snowmobiles and ATVs are the terror of the lakes country.

Pork chops, apples, onions, parsnips and potato. And Gosford Park for the evening's movie.
