Betwixt Snow and Blackflies Hang April 9-11 at Keji National Park. Typically April is cold & wet in Nova Scotia and this weekend was typical. Six of us, most 1st timers decided to setup camp at the group site and spend two nights. The first night went well, setup was under foggy conidtions but warm, around 14C. However once the sun went down, the rain started and so did the wind. From midnight the wind gusts went up to 70km/h as more rain came down. The next morning, the wind had diminished around 50 km/h but were sustained during the majority of the day. The group spent that time securing their tarps and making some adjustments as the second night will be much cooler. A short hike was planned in the afternoon along the Hemlocks and Hardwoods trail, a 5k loop. We checked out a number of walk-in sites and backcountry site #1. The final morning was perfect, almost sad to tear down the gear and go home. However, we had to log a quick geocache (earthcache) near Mill Falls.
