Adventures Down Under

The lodge was also lovely, but there was no time for lounging: the sunny weather was due to change soon, and it had been decided that I would camp out in the mountains with my guide Jim so we could be in a good position to hunt for chamois the next morning. John drove us up into the nearby mountains, through about a foot of slushy snow. But the sun was shining, and Jim and I set off with high hopes. Unfortunately, the wind turned to a gale about two hours into our hike, and under black threatening skies, Jim wisely called off our camping trip.
