2014 Week 08 Photos

(38th Week Photographing Daily)

Initially temperatures were not looking favourable for our trip to Kentucky but in the end it turned out to be amazing. Watching out for falling ice was interesting at the sites, as massive chunks would come barreling down. Every day temperatures progressively increased until our final day, 22 degree Celsius. Had an excellent time in the cabin this year, something very different then our typical camping. Out of the last four years, I would say this was one of the best. It sucked coming back to Kingston, as temperatures remained well below zero.
