I'm Camping in the Taiga Shield

Moving onto the third Friday of my project 699 pages have been added to the Reading Log count of 2,470 advancing the total to 3,169 kilometres. I'm now in the wilderness forest of Quebec south-east of the Robert-Bourassa Reservoir. If you want to find exactly where I am, visit Goggle Maps and enter "53 N 75 W" and you can see where I am.

I'm enjoying the camping trip in the forest with it's eastern white pine, eastern hemlock, red pine, yellow birch, sugar maple, and oak treas. I am also very happy I no longer have to worry about the migratory birds on Akimiski Island, NU wanting to make a snack of me. As for what time it is here, I'm still only two hours ahead of everyone in Saskatchewan. So if it's 9:30 am in Shellbrook it is 11:30 am here.

I hope you were all able to get out on Sunday the 27th to enjoy the parade! If you did, did you see the decorated Library car with pictures of me as well as a 'me' made of balloons on the roof of the car? I was only sorry that because I was in the parade, I didn't get to see all of the very neat entries and floats except for the ones in front and behind of me. Hope you all got lots of candy and pictures though!

And did you see the draft horses pulling the stagecoach? Riding it was a fantastic opportunity but I wouldn't want to be underfoot of those horses--their hooves are the size of dinner plates! I sure don't want to be a centipede pancake!

Ms. Carswell was also wondering if any of you made it to the Theatre's Variety Night as she was a part of the production. Not singing, but acting in a skit called "At the Talkies". If you were she hopes you enjoyed the performances and didn't mind too much the trip home in the rain.

The PDF templates will be posted this evening so you can print the Reading Log off at home so keep up your reading!
