Single-handedly solving nothing

Woolford Provincial Park – review

September 4, 2020 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

As my catalogue of campground reviews has grown, I’ve started to question my rating system. Oh, sure, the baby dill pickle shtick is cute and all, but it’s hardly rigorous. My judgments rely more on my whims at the moment of writing than anything scientifically valid. The appeal of a campground can change, sometimes dramatically, […]

Rub-A-Dub-Dub We Chose the Hub

September 1, 2020 by acrockofschmidt 3 Comments

On Sunday, March 15th, the Alberta government, concerned about the spread of COVID-19, closed all schools. Two days prior, on Friday, March 13th my kids attended school with few reservations on my part. They also would have attended school on Monday, March 16th had the government directive not been made, again with few reservations on […]

Police Outpost Provincial Park – review

August 16, 2020 by acrockofschmidt 5 Comments

I thought I’d found heaven, man. Then people showed up and my paradise was lost. Forget the brown acid, self-absorption is the bad drug. And generators. God, how I hate generators. If you need an Instapot for cooking during a two night camping trip, stay home. Seriously. To hell with generators. That, unfortunately, is the […]

Slo Mo Reno – The Paint Job

August 12, 2020 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Here is why I hate fashion and design and anything to do with the overarching beauty industry. The seventies. Someone, or a select group of someones, decided, in the seventies, that brown was an attractive colour and should be plastered on highly visible items like clothing, cars, and houses. These same someones then decided to […]

Big Knife Provincial Park – review

August 9, 2020 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

If it’s fair to say Alberta’s economy is all too reliant on oil and gas, then it’s also fair to say Albertan’s camping habits are all too focused on the mountains. At least that was my thinking when I went hunting for something east of our home rather than west. I ended up finding Big […]

Cataract Creek Provincial Recreation Area – review

August 7, 2020 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I almost camped at Cataract Creek Provincial Recreation Area. I’d heard the name plenty from the mouths of friends who camp there each summer. Usually it was followed with some form of, “if there are spots left” since Cataract Creek is first come, first serve only. Unlike these acquaintances, I’m no gambler when it comes […]
