BACK!! :D
Weekend was good, although on the first afternoon/evening it was blizzarding xD but guess you cant be all surprised when camping in the mountains, least there was no freaking fire ban x3 There was also a momma grizzly seen around are camp ground a day before we got there so we were on extra alert in case she wanted to come say hi xD
The next day was super nice, we went fishing (i got sooo sun burnt! lol) n 4x4ing to try to get to the summit, for which we didn't make it lol was WAY too muddy, luckily there was a big truck to haul us out or it would have been a long painful walk to the ranger station 4km away (i have a badly sprained ankle for those that don't know x3) The clay was so soft in this one area that we sunk down 3feet haha, wicked.
The nights (and well most the day too) were followed by drinking, just it increased a tad in the evening :P The dinners we cooked were sooo yummy! lots n lots of steak :o,,, man I love steak. haha.
Late Sunday night we (well Jeff and I) thought we heard some sort of large cat in the distance growl hissing across the lake :x that freaked me out way more than the bears in the area, cats are sooo sneaky/crafty, and they can also stalk from the trees Dx We ended up lighting a bear banger to deter whatever was around us. Didn't help that most of the camp sites we empty either, but was nice cause we didn't have to deal with annoying children or other adults being loud.
During the trip we saw the following animals :)
golden retriever :P (our buddy's dog)
2 elks
beaver (like 50lbs! thing was so huuuge)
muskrat
bald eagle
2 swans
whiskey jacks (constantly tried to steal out buddys dogs kibble haha lil monsters)
whole bunch other type birds/ducks
heard owls but it was super dark so couldn't see them :/ they sounded big though
loons
squirrels
and on the way home we drove past a momma grizzly with her cub :) so cute, dont think this was the same one that was seen around our area as it was a fair distance away from camp.
Good times :3
