Campsite at Killarney


Killnarey Pictures


May 28th ,I am in Sudbury at Science north ,fist place I could get a connection. Wednesday I drove to Killarney Provincial park spent the last 2 days there its really hot 86 degrees at 8pm,set up the tent in the shade.Thursday its still hot,went on a 4.5 km hike felt like 10km as there were lots of hills.Went for a swim in the lake water was cold but refreshing.At 5pm the park ranger came and warned me about severe thunderstorms in the area,hail and 90km winds.Decided to take down the tent and move into the van,turns out it was a good idea.....what a night hail the size of golf balls,rain and a great light show..was lucky no hail damage to the van as the trees protected me.Will attach some pictures of the area...My only problem is trying to relax and do nothing.
