two oh

I think for my birthday on friday, I might go camping by myself for the night. I remember this small camp site down by this river on the way to Tofino, past Port Alberni that I've always wanted to camp at. I'm well aware that I'd be quite jumpy camping alone, but this spo isn't far from the highway and it's got the river right there, plus if I could start a fire, I'm sure I'd be fine. Not sure if I'd keep the car on for music, but I'd certainly bring some books, meditate, and just ponder things.

I'd like to tell you about Cummins Valley. Normally for a place of this calibre, I'd be tempted to keep it a secret, but I think if you can get it together to trek there, you certainly deserve to know (and to gimme a call,s o I can tag along). Cummins Lakes Provincial Park is the only park I know of that is totally inaccessible by road. It's up Kinbasket Lake, the second valley past the Sullivan Arm. It's the only remaining rainforest of the Rockies. The only access besides helicopter would be by boat. There's no trails, no logging, but I do believe there's an alpine hut at the back of the valley (about 25km in). I will go there one day. It'd have to be at least a week trek with probably 3 other competent people. Prime grizzly country and no trails, so it'd be quite the adventure, but it's just so remote that I know it would be absolutely incredible.
