Sutton Mountain: Day 3

It was raining all weekend.
We got tired of getting rained on so we ate inside, pretending that the fireplace was a campfire: more sausages :D

On Sunday morning we packed up and left. It was WAY easier to go DOWN the mountain with all our equipment. Plus the water canister was lighter (it was empty) and we ate/drank most our provisions, so we were travelling a lot lighter!

We even took a picture of the remaining wood and that way saved 8.50$!.... which we later invested in coffee :D

It was still raining, but we had a good weekend!

Sutton Mountain : Day 2

I woke up and had a fantastic breakfast of sausages and coffee

While eating, a friend came over....

I wasnt sure if it was a wolf.... it turned out to be a Overly-friendly huskey, that wanted us to share some food. It stayed with us a bit, then heard it's master call and ran off.

We packed up and went for a hike. It was not a hike. It was a climb. A fantastic three-hours climb in the mountain.

We found this old trunk with curious patterns... bugs?

It is still early spring up here, so not much growing.

Old leaves from last fall

And new life too!

Nature is beautiful!

This was the view from up top of where we climbed.

Also, the farm at "Au Diable Vert" was Highlander Cows. These guys are very hairy and shaggy... Its like Justin Bieber but as a cow!

Sutton Mountain : Day 1

So after 2 years of working and working and studying and working, I decided that in between two summer internships, I will take a weekend of vacation. And so I did. Right after prom.
We packed up, and left.

We reserved at a place called "Au Diable Vert", which is a mountain hiking nature thingy.

On the road

The cabin looks like this. It has no water of electricity. No sink, no toilet. Just beds and a fireplace to heat and cook.

Oh one other thing: The cabin was 900m away from the parking place. Uphill... with a 250m hike upwards. over 900m. Which means we huffed and we puffed and we finally got uphill. We unpacked, took a nap (it WAS hard work and we were slightly hung over from prom), went back downhill to bring back the cart.

Nonetheless, the view was breathtaking, the mountain air amazing
