West County Wimps

On the impossibly short Canoe Trip, Josh and I would take point, then paddle upstream to the tail, then take point again several times. We also helped Mireille and Taylor when they flipped their canoe (on what, we're not quite sure). Josh even managed to get back into the canoe after he jumped out in the middle of the stream, which was no small accomplishment.

After all this, we still werent tired or sore. That shows what a short and flat river it was.

On the equally short hike, Alex and I held point the entire way, and we kept it at a very manageable pace. But everyone was crying and whining that they were sore and hungry and hot and tired and had to go to the bathroom, so we had to stop and wait every... eighth of a mile? About that. Bah. ;_;

Oh Canada... Will I survive long enough to get to you? I begin to wonder...
