    For this week's camping trip we took a drive down to the Heart Creek Bunker near Canmore Alberta. This was a Cold War-era bunker built around 1969. It was built by a private company planning to store documents in case of a nuclear attack. It was never fully completed and remains not far off the Trans Canada Trail. It was a great place to camp for the night without needing to bring a shelter.

      @@russellweber3466 your negativity is unwanted. And that wasn’t art? Yet I suppose the “painting” that you paid to see in some art gallery that was created by the “artist” smearing their dung all over canvas in a “abstract style” was art right? Have you ever tried to capture a crystal clear picture in total darkness of a moving object emitting light?? It’s not just snapping a picture…you have to have the right camera lens and get the F stop just right, focal length has to be correct, and several other things as well. So until you can man up and prove you can do it, then I’d suggest you keep your negativity to yourself because those kids seemed pretty darn artistic to me. And no one appeared stoned. Try learning to live positively and you might find some happiness in life dude.

    Steve, don't worry about finding weirder or more extreme things to do, we just like watching you. A fun idea to keep it fresh may be to just visit new towns stealth camping around and stepping out of your camp location to visit the town grab a bite to bring back to camp. It would be great to see.
