My father's last camping trp

Early on my in my father’s journey with Alzheimer’s disease, he developed an obsession with finding aluminum pop and beer cans.  He would spend hours every day out walking around the neighbourhood looking for aluminum cans.  This meant digging through garbage bins, walking along ditches and checking out the backs of pick-up trucks.  It was amazing how good he got at spotting cans in the ditches while cruising along the highway at almost 100km.
