Forest Bathing.

 
 
We spent a few days boondocking at our preferred location, which we nicknamed Leatherback Turtle, close to Bearberry, Alberta, Canada along the James River.

Here are some of the pictures we took of moss, mushrooms, and other things.

"The James River, as well as James Pass and James Lake, are named after James Dickson, a Stoney Chief who signed Treaty 7 with the Canadian government in 1877.[1][2]"-Wikipedia   

    

  We are lucky to be able to camp during the week now that we are retired, so we had the entire area to ourselves.

Photographed from inside the camper, looking out. We leave our blinds open while we sleep so that we can observe the outside world.

Parking between the trees. See the next photo as well.

The one wheel is on a RV Wheel Chock, to level the camper so that the fridge can work. See the next photo as well,

The rear bumper of the camper has hooks attached which come in handy to anchor the gazebo's ropes.

Yellow Camco 44595-X RV Stabilizer Jack Pad, which comes in a 4-pack. We use yellow pads and Wheel Chocks, to see them in the mud.

One day it rained, so I did some crafting inside the camper. The example on my tablet is from a free Drawing Whimsical Faces Challenge by Ivana Zoza (Artful Haven)

We have to drive through mudholes.

The Jayco 2022 JAY FLIGHT 174BH Baja has plenty of clearance and 15″ off-road tires.

 

 We heard a cowamotion on our last evening when cows and calves entered our area. It had the same sound as trumpeting Vuvuzelas.

With the racket of Cowbells and Vuvuzelas, we won't be able to sleep tonight.

Look at the size of that bell!

"Once in a herd, cows develop a social hierarchy. There are even what are called “boss cows” at the apex of this social ladder. These are the cows that push their way through to the feed bunk no matter who is in their way and, sorry ladies, no one is getting seconds until these queens of the corral have had their fill."- Pet MD

Turn the udder cheek and mooo-ve on.

They trampled our only road out, so we had to shoo them out.

A Cattle dog that can’t chase cattle, is not much fun.

On the way back, we passed several enormous rigs.

Glamping anyone?

A neat set-up, with a gazebo.
