Visitors here, we visit there.

 Yep, we had visitors from BC here a couple days ago.  Ron and Roberta, friends we had not seen since summer of 2004 came to visit.  Got in touch on Facebook and voila, we got together.

Yesterday, Wednesday, we went to visit Denise and the “Pand” as she pronounces it in her Newfie accent.  To the rest of the world it is a Pond.  Quite a nice spot where she is.

Today, Thursday, Nov. 22 is the American Thanksgiving.  The section of the park called Hurricane Ridge has organized a turkey feast, where someone cooks a turkey and we all bring a side dish to share.  Called pot luck.  yummy.

This duck or goose has a tuft of hair on the side of his head.  Can’t find him in my bird book, maybe this is a feather malfunction……. Can anyone help with a name?

Some kind of heron, I would say.  Gerald, Janice and Doug, one of you should know.

However, when we sat down for dinner, the potatoes were not cooked.

Smoke from fire at a food processing plant on our way to the “Pand”.  Smell at the campsite was not too nice, but bearable.

  1. The duck is mostly a domestic breed or variety called a Crested Duck. The heron in the tree looks like it may be a juvenile Great Blue Heron. The smoke looks like my barbecue when the steaks are almost done!
