After a long 10 days in Canada, I’m back. I’m not going to chronicle the entire trip in detail today, but I will in the near future. It’s roughly a 12 hour drive to the cabin where we stayed, and boy were my legs cramping. It was bearable though, and we arrived at like 7 in the morning. We had breakfast at a restaurant called the Maple House or something, which we called the Sugar Shack. It had great pancakes and stuff, and a large selection of souvenirs and stuff. Out back of the restaurant there were goats which you could feed corn to. Good times. We got to the cabin, and immediately set off on what I thought would be a peaceful nature walk of some sort on a path through the property. What followed was one of the best anecdotes I brought back from the whole trip. Not only was this not a “nature walk”, it wasn’t even on a path. We were pushing through trees, over rocks, through streams, etc. Not my cup of tea. There were many marshy areas where my shoes made sucking noises. I was told to avoid these patches of black mud, and I honestly did my best (hint: not good enough). My foot went down a few inches on one particularly bad patch. After we had gone maybe half a mile, which to me felt like around 30, we decided to turn back. On the way back, we hit a large patch of black mud with only two small branches to aid our crossing. Everyone made it across. Everyone, that is, but me. I slipped about an inch, and the next thing I knew, the patch of black mud had swallowed my leg up to just above my knee. Took Andrew (I’ll introduce the others later) about a minute to pull my leg free without losing my shoe, and he did it wonderfully. Anyway, that traumatized me for the rest of the day I had a great time the rest of the week though, and I’ll share more tomorrow or something.

Thanks for reading,
