Definition of a Vacation

As vacation approached this year, my feelings got a little hurt that other things had to take priority. After a little while of reminding myself of "who i am" or "who I was", whatever! and letting that brew some creativity for a bit (something that I've always been pretty on point with). Knowing it was coming, i made a list of free and cheap things nearby, stay cation! with day trips perhaps. Well, i shed some tears as i had to keep scratching things off the list, even the tiniest, simplest things became pretty discouraging. Life! So I got some sleep, accomplished things around the house (wanted to but not entire time so when felt forced it was a little upsetting and just typical OCD me), days kept going by and kept scratching free and cheap things off the list. With 2 days left after the bearded one was called into work for training that was a must, ooof what a scramble. Headed north in the only way I knew how, ALL IN!!! 13 hours, not in my own vehicle (yeah one of those great pre vacation wrenches) with no reception whatsoever 🤘🏻

Phone, what's a phone? get a map or encyclopedia of... oh let's say, something like driving on the moon at 30mph (at most) if it had trees lol when said moon (intense logging roads) has an old part of the trans canada and nameless/signless roads, reversing your written directions can be quite the feat. Well if it weren't for that little challenge (10 miles wrong way) we would not of seen the bonus (Moose) after something pretty darn epic.

Epic reason/purpose for insane adventure? Ghost Trains!
