And We're Back!

We're back. YAY!

The weekend was mixture of panic attacks, accomplishments and contentment. I'm exhausted. Friday afternoon thunderstorms excepted, the weather cooperated beautifully. I'll post some pictures and expand my recap in a further post or two. In the meantime here are a few highlights & lowlights for your reading pleasure:

Highlights:
  • loons singing on the lake
  • figuring out how to cross a stream using rocks and two sturdy walking sticks
  • playing with my camera
  • scenery along Saturday's 12km hike
  • observing a beaver and hearing an owl for the first time
  • breakfast in the great outdoors: bacon, eggs and cowboy coffee with a twist
Lowlights:
  • panic attacks induced by thunderstorms and narrow footbridges
  • mosquitoes and wasps
  • packing woes (if I do this again, I'd get a bigger backpack)
Surprises:

This morning someone asked if I'd try it again. Although it wasn't all peachy, I think I'd like to give it another shot. I think I'll allow myself a little time to recoup first though. I need it.

You forgot one lowlight...

Cassie rubbing herself on a dead carcass... What a smell!

Still I had a great time and look forward to doing it again. Maybe not backwoods but at the very least some car camping at some of Ontario's finest.

Not to mention I still want to get you out in a canoe! ;-)

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about the liquified carcass! Maybe it's 'cause I'm not the one who had to clean it off of Cassie. I DID hand you the napkins though. :)
