Camping by Beaver Pond

In the morning, the beaver pond was thinly frozen. Yet, a family of ducks was cruising along.

In the evening the day before, Leo and I watched a resident beaver swimming far side of the pond. It was too dark to take a video.
This is the tent I bought in May, 1974, just before ACC trip to the Long Beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Jane Smith led the trip. I wonder where she is.

Wow, it's dark. It was really dark in the forest, though all the trees were bare without leaves. In

this forest there were hardly any evergreens.
