On May 2 and 3, we went camping with Jeff, Sari, and the girls at Sauble Falls Provincial Park, Ontario, which is close to Lake Huron west of Owen Sound. Although the weather was rainy most of the weekend, it was still a lot of fun. It was an experience setting up our campsite in the rain; in fact, it started to downpour just before we arrived. Once an initial tarp was set up, we could assemble the tents under it and stay relatively dry. When it wasn't raining, the bugs were out in full force. Luckily, there was a hardware store close by that sold some good bug net hats. And the smoke from the fire kept the bugs away, too.
Alicia and I went fishing (didn't catch anything; you can see the river that ran right behind our campsite) and we did some hiking around the park. But mostly, we sat under our tarps and cooked food and watched the girls running around and getting dirty. We all had a great time.
The falls themselves were pretty spectacular; they stretched on for about a hundred meters, though they didn't have a large vertical drop. We saw lots of fly fishermen near the bottom of the falls, but thankfully none of them seemed to be having better luck than I had.
