How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

"Site #20 is Available"

A lucky weekend.  If fate dictated that you were not to be in Kingsport, then the Keji backcountry was a fine second choice.  And fortune smiled in freeing up a touring kayak and the prettiest little site in the park for a sunset paddle beyond compare.  Photos and videos taken because otherwise the beauty would be hard to fathom.

I seem to have failed to record the prior Keji outings here - the 35th birthday to #16 and the Labour Day trek two summers later to Frozen Ocean.  Assuming the year on/year off pattern holds, I wonder what 2020 may bring...

For now the focus lies ahead on other potential hikes/adventures in NS - a Cape Breton Bucket List (part II) for sure, and hopefully other inspiration.  Cottagefest and time at Mush-a-mush to come, always fodder for reflection.  Another email sent to Lav, hopefully a response provides some illumination on that path.  Things remain trapped in routines that are difficult to break, idleness that needs provocation.  How to escape that cycle?

Travel and a seasonal base.  I know that is the answer.  Why do I feel so strongly that Freeport holds the key?  To be continued...
