After dinner I grab my camera to catch a shot of the Bowron Marsh from the small bluff by the old cabin.

There is an old cabin/shelter that some college kids are staying in right next to our campsite. Other than the campsites by the "Chute", this is the most populated area we have been in. But it makes sense since it is very close to the end and some folks do only a 3-4 day trip along the west side of the circuit. We can also hear the Europeans across the small marsh from the outhouse. So these kids are in this old cabin that apparently was infested with mice. We hear them every once in a while, too--they must be playing games or something as there is much laughter. They were pretty cool though and we let them fill their water jug using our filter.

Tomorrow we will get up really early (5am) and quietly paddle through the marsh to Bowron Lake as early morning is the best time to observe wildlife in the marsh. It is 9:30pm when I turn out my light.

During the middle of the night I wake up to run to the outhouse. The sky is clear and moonlight is shining through the trees by the cabin, illuminating my tent. I see the Big Dipper and all the rest of the stars--AWESOME! But I'm the only one awake, and heeding the sign, decide I don't want to be out there alone and pass on the opportunity to take some night shots of the moon and stars.
