Bye, Bye Simpson

My last day in Simpson and what was I going to do...well go to church of course but...it was closed due to hockey playoffs (I assume). Hockey obviously supercedes God here because there was no music playing in that church (I guess I should have expected that because I had passed an Elder on the way and he seemed shocked that church was on). So what do I do? I walk around Rose Island and quietly worship in nature!!

I had one thing to do that day, pick up the returning facility supervisor...no problem there are only two roads out of Simpson that lead to the ferry drop off, how hard could that be. Yah should have remembered that I have the blonde roots working against me. Away I go down the road I have chosen (yes I was having a male moment, what ask for directions?), and I notice heavy machinery, oh well, I probably never noticed it since I was in the pasenger seat before. Now the road is getting a wee bit rougher, hmmm, not that many trees, where's the dump I'm supposed to pass? Ok I ended up at the gravel pit, it was scenic and now I am late for the pickup. I boot back to the pool, ask for directions find out its the other road and now I am ferry bound!

Pothole city! The normally fast driver that I am had taken a backseat (shocking isn't it) and I am driving slow and steady towards the ferry. Dirt roads suck! I have had too many cousins roll vans on dirt roads not to appreciate that the slower the better. And the truck I am driving belongs to the Band so before I start an international incident, I am going to drive like a Young Drivers wannabe. Guess what I saw? A porcupine! Hokey Dinah those suckers are big and fat! Cool to see but also dangerous if you are trying to drive around them without killing yourself (lol). Anyway my passenger was late, I was early, the porcupine visited us once more on the way back and have to say we survived. Blonde moments aside I have to say I'm gonna miss you Simpson!
