Iris asked, for Solstice, to go on a hike just with me, like we used to

before my foot hurt so much.

I enjoyed the hike.

Iris let me know that I am slow.

We had to hurry home from the Massawippi Trail on my birthday two weeks ago because it coincided with opening day for registration for the campgrounds at Parc National du Fjord-du-Saguenay. I wanted to register at at the first minute of the first possible hour so that I could get my favorite spot. Both Martin and I clicked the proper button on our separate computers the instant registration opened. I had around 10,000 people in front of me and he only had about 8,000 people in front of him, so after a mere 50 minutes in the virtual waiting room, we were in! Bonus, I got my spot. It helps that I’m not really picky about which week we go camping.

Anyhow. That’s all besides the point.

The point is, we had to go back to the Massawippi trail so that we could walk to the far end of it.

There’s a lot more to explore.

It seems that, for my birthday, I took exactly one photograph. Here it is!

Apologies to all family members whom I failed to photograph on my birthday.
