Gais.es Nor Gays Camping Weekend

These are a few pictures from the annual Labour Day Camping Weekend hosted by Gais.es Nor Gays Inc. in Petit Rocher, just northwest of Bathurst, NB.

The cabin names are: Ouaouaron, Goéliche, Couac, Morutière, Saouèse, Bigorneau, Vendèse & Outarde.

There's another huge album of just the 2007 GNG Camping Weekend here.

These pictures were taken with my beautiful Sony DSC-P1 digital camera, a gift from my brother Gary.

The very first pic of 2007 with the new (to me) Olympus E-300 was of Wayne Toole.

On the way home, our picnic spot, probably Kouchibouguacis River #1 in St-Louis-de-Kent. If you know where this is, please email me. A very nice Mountie stopped to ask what I was doing to the Westie's license plate. I showed him where the dipstick is.
