“So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.”

-Voltaire

Our first camping adventure of the 2024 season was the May 24 long weekend at Presqu’ile Provincial Park. On our way there, we stopped to get a picture of the wind turbines up by Highway 115, as it was on our way.
