Vacations...urgh

[windemere]

I have never been a camper. I don't even pretend to enjoy camping. I am not a 'live outdoors' type of person. I am also very attatched to my electricity. Running water I can live without. Lights are a must.

Tomorrow, at 8:30am, we are leaving for the French River. It is a three hour drive north of MUSKOKA, the last half hour of which is a dirt road. Following this we are catching a half hour boat ride DOWN THE RIVER to our friends CABIN.

It is a one room shack, to put it...politely. No running water. No hydro. And it is supposed to be roughly 7*C tomorrow night. It might as well be a tent. It will be an ADVENTURE. I am glad it is only one night.

The cell reception cuts out an HOUR south of the French. I am going to middle-of-NOWHERE Ontario. If I am not online by 10pm Tuesday night, someone please send out the search parties. We may have been taken by bears.

Also, I will miss my computer. Not that I've been on it every day I've been up here, and I can live without internet for more than 24hours, but it's the principle of the thing, now isn't it?

Book. i-Pod. My bestfriends.

So long, sweet world.

So long as it isn't damp. I HATE camping when its damp. Hopefully it ends up being nice.

Bring a camera though! You could see lots of really neat critters there. :)

Camera is most definitely packed. :)

As much as I am a fan of the Muskoka experience, water and electricity are kind of on my list of "Things I Need". Our cottage was famous for its lack of technology (one summer we weren't allowed to use the CD player because it interfered with "the sounds of nature"...though it is possible that Ardagh just didn't want us to sing), but sheesh!

Good luck, hun!

No music? Gah.

Thanks.
