We
spend a little time hiking atop Lookout Point, but
the place has lost a lot of the appeal it had the
fist time we visited. There was more evidence of
ancient aboriginal encampments. Recent visitors
have marked out "tent rings" which makes it hard to
know which are authentic. Some of the marked out
areas seem much to small for tents and its possible
that they might be marking out grave sites, but
that's only speculation on our part. There's some
garbage up top and the dregs of campfires. The mood
we feel is matched by the weather.
For
most of the day, we either catch up on our sleep or
our reading. I'm already regretting having left an
unfinished novel in the van back in Yellowknife.
I'm hoping I can talk Deb into relinquishing her
book before she's finished with it.
We
force ourselves out of the tents to eat supper and
socialize, but it's a chore. We talk about all the
neat things we saw along the way to take our mind
off the unpleasant weather.
It
was an altogether dreary day. Deb says she's
bored.
