What a weekend!

I had a pretty fun time at the Elbow Lake weekend. Campfire, potluck dinner and board games (I won 3 out of the 4 I played - Yahtzee, Pictionary, Apples to Apples and Cranium (lost at this one). Was fun, but am EXHAUSTED now.

Elbow Lake Environmental Education centre is a property about 40 minutes North of Kingston and came about as the result of an agreement between the Queen's University Biology Station (QUBS) and the Nature Conservancy of Canada. The Nature Conservancy bought the property from Hewlett Packard and recently, due to a 700,000$ anonymous donation to the Biology Department, Queen's was able to purchase the rest of the property, meaning the 3.5 million dollar property is now fully owned by QUBS. It is beautiful there! I had never been but WOW, is it ever nice. A lot nicer than the QUBS facilities I can admit. The photos I took there are below.

Now I am beat! I was in the field on Saturday and went to KHS before the field. I can't say I have had a productive weekend per se, but I did DO a lot.

orange coat! Heard SO many gun shots at Elbow Lake.

My apartment is SUCH a mess... I should probably just move. Off to do.. something.
