Dateline: Somewhere in Canada, June 2

The land of gravy-covered fries, eh? And ice in the urinals. Really. Maybe it helps keep the, um, you-know-what fresh...?

(I have been informed my mother-in-law is looking at these pages, so from here on in the language will all be squeeky clean. So there.)

Dateline: Somewhere in Canada, June 2

Canadian cow. Moooooo...se.

Dateline: Niagara, NY, June 2

Note the blue cover on the tent - it threatened rain the entire time we were in NY.

Dateline: Niagara, NY, June 3

Nantahala on steroids in the background.

Dateline: Niagara, NY, June 3

The infamous Niagara Attack Squirrel. I snapped this shot just as this little bugger jumped on my leg.

Dateline: Niagara, NY, June 3

The hurricane deck is behind me and over my head. Note the wash of white over the platform - that's water, baby, gallons and gallons of water. You don't come back from the hurricane deck dry.

Dateline: Niagara, NY, June 3

Gosh, she came down drier than I did. How on earth did she manage that...?

Dateline: Niagara, NY, June 3

Hmmmm. I wonder what the captain looks like...?

Dateline: Niagara, NY, June 3

Aha. Black sweater. Epoulettes. White shirt. About Kevin's age.

Doable, Bunny. Very doable.

And the obligatory snowglobe.

We also came away with a fistfull of guidebooks of various sizes and colors.

Dateline: Niagara, NY, June 4

You can tell a happy van by the bugs on its teeth. 7800 miles worth of bugs. Potentially an entymologist's dream.

As a side note, it rained on us for the first time this trip as we were trying to strike the camp. We were cramming canvas and nylon into Chuck as fast as we could - no neat rolls this time.

Dateline: Buffalo, NY, June 4

The last Kinko's in Yankee country.

Dateline: Buffalo, NY, June 4

No internet connection.

But the lady was very nice and gave me directions to another Kinko's.

Dateline: Buffalo, NY, June 4

Which made me so happy to find that apparently all my teeth fell out.

(This was the only Kinko's on the trip that didn't support broadband - I'm updating on a dialup connection. Yeesh.)
