Giving back- Mister Timbuktu

Story time: Exploring the magic of Tasman Lake
“Proceed with caution”, “Enter at your own risk”, “Avalanche area” Being from the prairies these are all things Lauren doesn’t exactly get excited about, but they had a 4WD ute, Chris’s confidence and his need to drive off the beaten path.

Don’t you just love when you come across something so unexpected and unusual?! I especially love it when it’s completely random and pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
