The weather forecast kept teasing us as Thursday approached. Isolated rain showers. Sixty percent chance of rain. Yikes.
We decided to go anyway.
And hoped that the 10AM downpour with thunder and lightning was the worst it was going to be and that the skies would clear up.
Thankfully they did and one hour north on the Gatineau River the skies were clear. For the first time we were able to snag the island campsite nearest the dock and discovered why it was so popular. Smooth rocks to lie on. A nice safe deep diving area. Four flat areas for tents. An outhouse. A campfire area and grill. Beautiful vistas. A gentle breeze. And on this first week of August – no bugs.

Making monsters is Dr. Nutt’s specialty. Her best creations are the Yummy Mummy, the Boogie-Woogie Man, and her masterpiece, Dracula-la-la! who loves to sing Opera music. It’s music to Dr. Nutt’s ears, but the villagers don’t like the idea of singing vampires roaming around their town. When they storm her laboratory they are in for a pleasant surprise.
