Prairie time, and about time

At last! We’re camping, and it’s spring! No, not the spring found on the calendar but it’s still snowing outside – instead, it’s the real and actual spring where the sun shines and snow is a distant memory (just over a week ago, but it’s gone now…)

Early May, not late fall! Or winter!

We’re out in the prairie badlands (bad? good!) a couple of hours northeast of Calgary. Spotty wifi but lots of wildlife, so more to share at a later date.

In the meantime, thanks for reading and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I am a would be outdoorsman - that is if I had more time, skills and knowledge. When I can, I love being outdoors, just camping, hiking, snowboarding, xc skiing, snowshoeing, paddling a canoe or trying something new. What I lack in ability, I make up for in enthusiasm and having a go. I'd never really survive for long out there in the wild, but I enjoy pretending I could if I had to...

  1. Spotty wifi can be a good thing at times. More time to connect with what really matters. Cliche I know but true hey. Have a fabulous time Adam and enjoy that lovely spring weather. Cheers! 😊

    1. You’re not wrong – we’re more likely to stay somewhere if there isn’t wifi!
      It was so good to be back out camping, and it warmed up as the week went on – spring!
      Thanks, Miriam!

    1. There’s always so much to embrace about prairie space – if you can catch your thoughts before the wind whisks them away… I love your description – forever landscapes – perfect!
      Thanks, Jet!
