Haunting how time flies

I was looking at the calendar today and I realized that Halloween is fast approaching. I would really like to do something cool this year. Does anyone have any spooky suggestions?
Oh, and drinking at a bar doesn't count as a suggestion, I can do that anyday.

Archaeology meets Camping

We did a lot of hiking while we were camping at Murphys Point.
This is the old Burgess Sawmill, notice the trees inside of it now. tee hee
The McParlan House. Apparently there are archy camps here for kids.
The Lally Homestead. There wasn't even a sign or anything. It was stupid and all reconstructed bulony.


Here is the Silver Queen mica mine. Usually there are tours but we were too late in the season.


Unfortunately, all of the hiking hurt my knee a bit so I have been trying to take it easy, looks like no squash for me this week.

Crazy stuff while camping

We got ambushed by a giant raccoon on the first night. As you can see it ate right through the plastic.
This is a crazy tree we saw.

I am certain that fairies live in there.
Who knows what kind of plant this is???????

This snake lunged at me while we were hiking.










Finally, the most crazy thing that happened......
We were hiking up to the old mica mine when we came accross a guy on a mountain bike. Brock was taking some pictures and mentioned that he'll probably not remember what the picture was of, to which the weird guy responded with "well, you can tell people what it is of... if you make it out of here alive". As he finished this statement he began to reach into his fanny pack. Needless to say this totally creeped Brock out who hurried away from the guy before he could really know what was being retrieved from the fanning pack. Still, all in all creepy weird thing to happen.

Gone Camping Part II

Ok, so we decided to try it again. I am going camping this weekend to Murphy's Point. Once again it has a history to interest me. You can take tours of an old mica mine and homesteads etc. Should be fun, as long as it doesn't rain again. I have decided that if it does rain I will never go camping again since I must be cursed. I guess we'll see how it goes.

The Last Day

Today I took my very last pills for the cleanse, and I must say that I am pretty glad. There are still no major really scary dumps to speak of though I did manage to poop more than just once on Sunday and Monday. I am sorry to disappoint you all with my lack of super crazy poops lined up around the toilet pictures, maybe next time.

Update

Day 2 of the cleanse and I still haven't had a really good poop. Instead I am bloated, water-logged, and missing the days of IBS where at least I knew for sure that I was going to poop. I have decided that after the IBS symptoms and being a vegetarian for so long I simply have no toxins left in my body and that is why I simply cannot have a nice large dump.

Oh, for all of you who have been complaining about the poop (if you can call them that) pictures, I put a warning for a reason so that I am not liable for you reaction to them. I simply gave you the option, you chose to look at them. So now who is the disgusting one.

Colon Blow

Brock and I have started a detoxification cleanse. We got the combo pack that is supposed to cleanse the liver, kidney, and colon and chose to do the 7 day stonger cleanse. Hopefully this will cure my IBS, Brock's afternoon naps, and both of our poop issues. I promise to let you know how well it works, right now we have been doing a lot of #1 but that may be due to the large amounts of water we are supposed to drink with the program.

Please note that it is not for the faint of heart.

The Camping Adventure

So, we kinda got hit by the end of a hurricane when we were camping. This would have been fine but the tent was just not up to it. Though Brock dropped a tree on top of it (cracking some of the poles) earlier in the day, the predicted 35-45 mm of rain actually was leaking in through the floor so we had to pack it up.

Lucky for us, before it started raining we rented a canoe and explored the pictographs. Here is a sample.
