Thanksgiving at Camp Tulahead

I can't believe it's already been a week since we went up to Princeton. It was so lovely! We did lots of exploring, including hiking the trail up the mountain behind the camp. The trail used to be calling Twin Pines, until last winter when one of the trees fell down, now it's referred to as Lonely Pine. The trail was similar to the Grouse Grind, but only about a quarter of the length, and ended at a rock that jetted out from the mountainside. Corey and his Dad did some fishing - but didn't catch anything big enough to keep. I built the best campfire of my life! On which we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows for s'mores.
Of course, the whole weekend involved a lot of eating!

Here's a little glimpse into where we spent our weekend.

 we actually remembered to take a photo together! (we are horrible at that)

 the main camp area - fire pit/stage to the left, mess hall to the right / cabin textures
the barn which used to house horses and chickens / the tulahead sign
the rock at the top of the mountain is where we hiked to


After spending the weekend here Corey is in full mountain man mode. He brought he fishing rod back with him and is currently up in Squamish fishing, hoping to bring back some trout. I guess I'll have to figure out how to cook that… Any tips?

Our other plans for this weekend include exploring Westham Island, which is just off of Delta - joined by an old wooden single lane bridge. There are a few farms out there, a winery and about half the island is a protected wildlife area for migrating birds.

Hope you're all doing amazingly well!
Sending tons of love!

Xo, A
