Well, I tried to have a good weekend but a freak storm changed my plans. Lost power for about a day (way better than many who still don’t have power 3 days later) and lucky me didn’t have a tree crashing through the house like some neighbours did.

I was having a wonderful time at the lake enfemme until a freak storm took out several mature white pine trees, blocked the access road in three places trapping me with limited food for three days, took out the power. Fortunately no one was hurt and I eventually managed to leave safely. Strange times we are living in.
I think the force and path of the storm took everyone by surprise.
I am not an outdoor person. I didn’t like going to the cottage when I was a young lad. So being trapped for 3 days within limited food. I would have curled up in the fetal position and cried.
As they say, when the going gets tough. The nice thing that transpires in these disasters is how the situation brings people together. Because of the storm I met neighbours up and down the lake that I had only waved to before. My eventual escape was the icing on the cake and a story in itself.
