I'm on vacation, eh?

So, it's reading 7pm on my clock, but it's really 10pm... because i'm in TORONTO CANADA!

We flew the red eye to Detroit to visit folks and then immediately drove across the border to Niagara Falls!!!

For some reason the Blogger image uploader is not working, so here's a quick video glimpse of the view:

:) Then we drove to Toronto ... will stay overnight and check out the sites in Toronto tomorrow.

...and so that there's something to look at, here's someone else's picture of the falls:

Yo Ho Yo Ho, a Camper's Life for me...

Another successful October Camping trip!

We've definitely improved in our camping abilities in the last few years. One sign is that we now have 2 bins always ready to go in our storage room. One is labeled "Group", and that contains all the extra plates, utensils, cups, paper towels, etc that is a must have when camping in groups. Then we also have our "single" bin, that contains our Lexan reusable utensils, bowls and cups. It also holds our cooking utensils, lighters, foil, string, tape and other misc items that are basic necessities.

Our camping stove and grill works great... but I'm really impressed with the Hibachi ovens that you can get at Korean markets. The propane cans are smaller, the oven lights itself, and it's super portable.

Another discovery from this trip... Soccer socks make great leg warmers. You can still wear shorts on a semi-warm day - but feel like you're protected from thorny bushes during hikes. And you gotta love the fashion trends you're setting at the site....

Onion Ring Tower!

Since I got a ring for my birthday... I had to get Herman "rings" for his! :)
