Miramichi Part One!!


Miramichi

Well we are here in Miramichi for FISHING!!!!  Info centre (they are invaluable) check, local fishing/hunting store –are there any fish? -check, accommodation/fishing package-check. Just have to wait until Sunday to fish, as the guides are busy until then –good sign. 

Now we wait in the Miramichi campground, Kevan is being dive-bombed by the mosies every time he goes outside and does he ever react (needs vat of after-bite and an antihistamine due to some of the bites are approx quarter-sized. I’m apparently not as appetizing (only have two bites).

Once again thunderstorms performed for us with the bonus of finding wet blankets this am and thus the search for the leak began in the still pouring rain!! Kevan and his trusty box of “bodger-fixy stuff” to the rescue!! After a short period of time, viola no leak but now putting on gloves to slather the after-bite on him!!

Its reading and nap day with a “Martha Stewart moment” of homemade chip cookies. Will go discover more of the town and apparent farmers market tomorrow.

Hey Mark. We left you a voice mail noting that with your work schedule and Ken's that we were changing plans and will try to land in Edmonton on a weekend upon our return in late Oct or early Nov. Sorry. We hope to see you guys on our way home!

Ibbostanians,

Glad to see your rattle trap based adventures continue to provide good humour!

Kev the best way to avoid mozzies is wear dark clothing, breath heavy, eat lotsa banana's and flap your arms...I've also heard swearing works to!

Best of luck with the touring, if possible do let us know if southern Ontario's greatest artistic monument, the Big Apple is still standing?

Smiles from miles,

Dan

Dan,
Swearing does work. I swear it does. Karen has her doubts though.
