now he wants to go camping

Manuel suddenly decided that he wanted to go to Algonquin. I cautioned him that the powered sites are no longer available, at least in Mew Lake. Forwarded him the old note from Lil and Bob, that lots of electrical sites were still available at Two Rivers. I suggested he might ask, on the listserv, if someone wanted to share. Last-minute cancellations might happen. Told him to check the online booking system. Or call the park office. Reminded him that he'd need power at the beach. Battery power. I offered my spare deep discharge gel batteries. But, all things considered, it was all a little late in the game...

I guess all the talk of the dark skies got him fired up. That said, the weather predictions are not looking very promising.

He wanted to know if I wanted to travel with him. He offered to rent a large vehicle. But his timing was very restricted by his work. I wanted to go up earlier, make a long weekend out of it.
