Last day at Big Bar

Glen and Cathy went home the next morning, but not till Mark demonstrated "the Clam", his instant pop-up bug tent.  Unfortunately, much to the amusement of our neighboring campers (and ourselves) he had forgotten the first important step, wound up erecting it inside out and had to dismantle the frame to untwist the canvas.  Needless to say, it was not very instant! Alas, no pictures, but we all had a good laugh. And once he'd sorted it out, he did erect it in less than a minute.

After a tour around the marsh trail, Mark also left in the afternoon to meet up with his climbing buddy at nearby Marble Canyon Provincial Park.   We spent the rest of the day with a leisurely paddle around the lake.

Birds were seen:

Two young loons

Ducklings

Bald eagle

The next morning we hiked one more time around the marsh, then packed up and drove home.

Couldn't resist one more photo of this guy:
