Drive to Camp

On the way to camp we saw all the reindeer! I know I said that before, but we really did this time!! We drove by an area where they were doing something with them (herding them?) so there were a ton in different areas! I actually made Raymond turn around after we went by the first time cause I not paying attention and didn’t have enough time to see them all! So we drove slowly by again (there was no traffic) then by a third time to be on our way. It was so much fun! All the reindeer!

Then we got to Kvalsund and there were reindeer everywhere in town! In people’s yards, walking down the street, in the hills by the school, walking down the sidewalk, everywhere! It was crazy! Every two feet more reindeer! And two decided to fight on the road right in front of us which was fun! All the reindeer!! We saw so many today! I asked Raymond if he thought if you lived up here and saw them all the time that you would stop caring about seeing them and he thought you would…but we won’t be here long enough for me not to be excited every time we see some!

Then not far down the road we got to where we are parked for the night. It is gorgeous here!! The last three photos are the views from the van, the ones before that are at the top of the small hill we walked up. By the time we got here it was freezing again, but we bundled up and sat up there until I got too cold and had to come back down. It was so gorgeous!! The photos are not as nice as it is. And I was like oh, we are getting into an area that is more like last time! This trip has been gorgeous so far, I’ve loved all the fall colors and the hills and the wide open spaces, but it is very different from the giant mountains and fjords of our last trip. Still gorgeous, just in a different way. Across the water here some of the mountains have a bit of snow on them! Bigger mountains! The rest of the trip will be all the hiking in the bigger mountains!Read more
