Adventures in Kejimkujik

In a blatant escape from trip planning and preparation, I took off to Kejimkujik National Park this weekend with Robin and our friends Alex and Kyle. Despite perpetually terrible weather, much hilarity ensued. Just a few photos from the trip:

In efforts to prepare for the forecasted rainstorms, I don an attractive PVC hood from a rain suit set, courtesy of our friends at Canadian Tire.

We set up camp, feeling very proud of ourselves for truly "roughing it" in the wilds of the park.

Hour one, day 2: The crotch of my beloved PVC rain pants has torn out entirely. I have to do a quick repair job with some duct tape. Robin mocks me mercilessly. See this guy? There's a reason he looks entirely miserable. He too was duped by the royal blue PVC rainwear.

Not to be dissuaded by our rapidly dissintegrating rain gear, we improvise with garbage bags. It's now pouring rain, we're in the middle of some godforsaken forest and Alex is miserable.

Despite the rain and generally nasty weather, we saw some neat stuff, such as:

This neat kind of Group of Seven island

And this moss, which Robin described as "other-worldy"
