Bike to the River Camp April 11 2007

I went out for a bike ride after supper today, to work a little bit more on the shelter and get some pictures. It took almost an hour each way, so I was only able to make small progress before turning back because of the impeding darkness. A few wildlife encounters, a small bird on a branch let me walk within 4 feet of it before it flew to a larger tree 2 feet away, examined me as i whistled, then left. I was walking up to the river, and was shouting to warn any possible animals to get the hell away, and spooked a family of loons than swam a few metres away and left. The baby was playing in the river while the parents watched. The baby loon doesn't look quite as majestic as an adult. It's flying pretty well already. Saw a few new tracks in the snow.

Biking along this road for 2.5 km was slightly difficult but better than walking.


The family of Loons. Beautiful picture.


Addition to the bench area. Will add cross lengths and pine boughs on the slants.


Two sets of tracks.


Boreal sunset. Should have left sooner.
