No news, no smartphone, no discussion of Trump or politics. It was sheer bliss.
Its good to take a break sometimes.

(46,166 posts)We went through there on our honeymoon. Salmon fishing. We were at Gold Bluff Beach, Cali before that seeing the fern forest, camping on the beach and watching elk playing in the ocean surf. A rare sight. That was 1978 but it might as well have been yesterday.
Have a wonderful time!

It might not be alone in the wilderness, but it's Canada, and they have legal pot.
Almost as good.
