Vacation North

Alright now, Day 1 of Ian and my vacations at the camp on Madawaska Lake. Real nice weather to set out with, clear sailing as we talked our way north, time flew by. We stopped at a restaurant in Medway, I forget the name but Ian had been here before with friends last summer and discovered they had poutine so we made it part of the plan to stop in and split an order of this French-Acadian delicacy. We got the order as a takeout then drove across the street to a road that led to the town landing/picnic area on the river that passes through the town.

As we approached Caribou the skies began to cloud up and after a stop there to add some additional groceries to our supply we finally arrived at the camp, unloaded, relaxed a bit, made some supper, sausage burgers and potatoes. It was a bit chilly in the camp so I started up fireplace and finished the evening with a father-son Texas Hold-em Poker Championship - Ian won so he's the reigning champ until tomorrow.

This is poutine, french fries covered in cheese and gravy - not good for you but it sure tastes great.

Here is Ian and Patches as we prepare to continue our way to the camp.

A determined flower has made it's way through the deck.

No sunset this evening, a heavy rain set in as it began to get dark.
