Well the first trip this year was to the Whiteshell Provincial Park and we stayed at the Nutmik campground. We left home on the friday night (the weekend after the may long weekend) and made it to Nutmik just before 8 pm. We had no fun when we first got there because we made it just before the office closed and first picked a site just from the map.. we drove and took a look at it..didn't like it so we picked another one and drove back..which was fine. Well after setting up the tent we found out that the electrical box at the site didn't work..so we found yet another site and literally carried the tent over to the new site and set up there. It was too late to go back to the office and we knew no one was coming for that site so we figured we'd just drive to the office in the morning.
Even though the weather channel had told us that the low was around +5 I think it must've dipped down to -5 because we froze. Even that portable heater didn't work friday night and we got no sleep. Saturday was a better day. I crawled out of bed early and took some photos. I really liked the light in the above photo and it was one of the first ones taken that morning with my olympus e520. We drove to the office and no one was there so we decided to go for a trail walk and took the pine point rapids trail which is 8.2 kms long. I managed to get some really good photos so it was definately worth the walk. After the walk, we went back to the office switched sites, had something to eat then went for a drive. I wanted sunset photos but it was chilly and I didn't feel like walking over the big hill to get to the beach so I settled for some campfire photos.

We left on sunday and on the way home we stopped off at pinawa dam and walked around the dam. I think I got some excellent photos there too. The link to the pinawa dam photos is here:
