camping, part deux
Scene: A 2-day camping trip to Mt-Orford provicial park: July 1-2. in which:
- christine and new-found friend christina go spontaneously camping. Christine books the last camping site in Quebec, (okay, west of the Plains of Abraham)
- our same-named friends are accompanied by 2 large baguettes and Bust magazine. And Harpers, Walrus, the New Yorker. It is an ersatz wilderness adventure.
- the lake at Mount Orford washes christina's contact out within seconds, leaving her half-blind for the rest of the trip
- christine demonstrates her "campcraft" by lighting 2 campfires. from scratch. boo-yeah! mmm... breakfast marshmallows.
- whilst swimming, some 14-year-old boys try to pick up our fair heroines (he! les filles!)... who are meanwhile distracted by the old people's nude beach they have stumbled upon.
- christina sets a record for rocking out to modest mouse over 21km of trail.
- two satisfying beers are enjoyed at the top of Mont Chauve (Bald mountain), while rain pours down and lighting strikes the next peak over
- many amusing stories are told, which cannot be repeated here or, um, ever.
And a hilarious, chill time was had by all. We're already legends in our own minds.
