Summer Solstice.

 

 We spent a few days boondocking with friends during the Summer Solstice, at one of our favorite places near the  James Riverin the Bearberry Valley, near Sundre, Alberta, Canada.


We had showers almost every day, but there were lovely breaks.

 

 “…boondocking typically means staying in a completely undeveloped area.” Free camp-sites.

We had a big tarp set up around the fire-pit.

"Also called dry, free, or freedom camping, wild camping is overnighting away from organized campsites, and their noise and crowds, to set up camp among the wilds of nature instead.”- Matador Network.

On our last day we had a thunderstorm and even hail, so we huddled together under the canopy.


It rained so much, water ran over our outdoor camping carpet.


It wasn't too cold, so we just enjoyed Mother Nature's Power.

 

Fortunately we had removed the tarp that morning, so that at least was dry.

 




We had also loaded the quad before the down-pour.


Erik found it boring...and...


...went to bed...

The river turned brown.


The sun came out and it was beautiful.


Erik joined us again.


We used our portable propane fire pit for heat.
