This year's outer club canoe trip was fantasitically awesome!! We went from September 23 to 27, but I'm only writing about this now..... hee hee.
We trekked through canoe lake, smoke lake, and around a loop until we had to paddle back halfway the same way we came.
One thing surprised me was how other many other people were there too. And we kinda had to fight for a campsite and make ensure no other groups had taken the spot.
All in all, it was quite a lovely trip. Yes, for me, the saying still stand true that : "The people make the place, the place doesn't make the people."
Because no matter where you are in the world, what you are doing, it won't matter unless you have caring, loving people alongside to share your precious memories and experiences with.
BEST MEMORIES (chronologically)
-Ivan talking for 4 hrs straight in the car ride there about BULGARIA of course
-when Mz wolffe said she did park ranger!! zomg
-**this stood out: when mz wolffe talkd about her old park ranger friends and neighbourhood friends and said something like " you'll be surprised at who still keeps in contact with you in ur life.." (that rly struck me because it got me thinking which of my friends would stick it out with me in the long run, who will make life-long friends with me, and who still cares enough to keep in contact with me....and will I have friends like that when I'm older according to the ones I have now??)
