Complimentary Blueberry Juice

Was able to get to Riding Mountain for a couple days of camping, choosing Whirlpool Lake as the destination. On the way out a local told me there was “too much nature” out there at that there Whirlpool Lake.

I’m pretty sure he was joking, but it’s also kind of true.

There were fish half-submerged in the peat swamp at the dock full of water lilies and sedges, garter snakes making a home in a hollowed out tree root, incredible mushrooms and all kinds of insects buzzing by at night around a small fire, with a clear sky and zero light pollution for optimal viewing.

Riding Mountain is one of my favourite places to go. The unique biome convergences offer so much. And surrounding this geological gem is monocrop agriculture as far as the eye can see.

Today I will thank the naturalists and conservationists that preserved these amazing places that will surely outlast human civilization.

Nature’s organized chaos is beautiful.
