Well guys, we finally made it! We are finally in the canoes
and out on the water! Twenty-seven more days to go. Congratulations everyone,
we made it almost a week without killing anyone. Yes, I did say a week!
Although it feels like a month. The days run together and feel like they never
end. As I sit here by myself and eat this Milky Way while I write this I begin
to realize that we are in bear country and this might not be the greatest idea.
Oh well, at least you guys could say I went out happy. So, if you guys find
this journal tomorrow on the ground next to my chair just remember I will be a
pile of poop in the next couple of days. On a serious note, how about that view
last night?!?! It was absolutely amazing. A beautiful sunset over Lake
Superior. Things have been going pretty good, but we all need to work on
managing our time a little better. We need to work together to get things done
in a timely manner so we have free time to have fun and relax. Yes Jeff, “we
know this is not about having fun.” Meals have been pretty good so far, so
thank you for that chefs. I think we can all agree that it is absolutely
beautiful up here and I cannot wait to see what the next twenty-seven days have
in store for us. I am not sure how I became leader of the week first, but I
feel like I have a huge weight on my shoulders. Just remember guys, I am going
to give it my all, and do my best. Hopefully, by the end of the week I will
have the skills and knowledge to pass on to Kolin and Nick as they join me next
week as leaders of the week. One perk to being in a tent with Jeff is that he
does all of the cooking and I have a few minutes each day to relax. I haven’t
been able to do that since ECOEE started last Saturday. I will finish with
this. “Treat others the way you wish to be treated.” We are all living together
for the next month in the backcountry and several more months after that, and
it is going to be a long time if we treat each other like crap. I hope you are
all enjoying this as much as I am, and I hope I am not getting on your guys
nerves to bad yet.
