Redefining "middle of nowhere"

A good chunk of my southern friends think we already live in the middle of nowhere.

 but our friends Tammy and Laurie wanted to show us a place they love that really is remote. 

We drove 4 1/2 hours north west just to get to their place. 

Then we drove about 2 1/2 hours south west, mostly on logging roads where we switched from truck to a variety of ATVs.

apparently tearing up the trails is part of "keeping Kakwa wild"

Keeping Kakwa wild is TONS of fun!

 

 and involves LOADS of mud and water!

So we spent two hours going up, down, over and through mud, rivers, puddles and rocks until we got to our "objective" - Kakwa Falls. 

Gorgeous and well worth the trip - the picture doesn't do it justice.

9 hours of travel to find peace, solitude, and pure wilderness...

and a black lab...

and two truckloads of children plus their parents and maybe grandparents... I kid you not. Once we got on the quads we saw no one except for a few hunters. But get to a "look out" and look out - people! Too funny, even the middle of nowhere is a busy place.

Thanks for a great time guys!
