Holiday 2

Ok, Ok, Ok, I will continue on with the Backpacking holiday:). Sorry for the slight delay but we took off on another bit of a holiday this past weekend. A 1st cousin in Pennsylvania got married. Then last night I was distracted:).

Anyway......
So the next morning we woke up on a quiet little lake.

We had some lovely blueberry pancakes for breakfast from blueberries fresh off the bush. mmmmmmm blueberries.....

So we got a bright and early start (about 11:00) after we got all packed up and hit the trail.

Now if you look closely you will see that Blake has a wacko look on his face. Most of you, upon seeing this will think nothing out of the ordinary has occurred. However, you will have been gravely mistaken. You see, the first night we hiked in, I, thinking it was a relaxing stroll of only 3.5 miles didn't bother to unload any of the food that we brought. Well, after about dying by the time we hit camp (sometime long after dark) the night before, Blake, conscience stricken declared "SHARE THE LOOOOOAAAAADDDD..." to which I gladfully dumped at least half the food into his pack. We also at this time tried to "SHARE THE LOOOOOAAAAAAD" for the pregnant backpacker. So I say all of this to let you know that the look on Bic's face is more the look of desperation than constipation, or mental stagnation:).


Here you will note that Melody (better known as Reeferson) took the lead and started doing some massive trail breaking. We tried to explain that there was no need to go through the fallen trees but she would have no part in our woosification.



So finally after an hour or 2 the troops rebelled and shouted "WE AIN'T GOIN NO FURTHER TILL WE'VE HAD A BREATHER! ... WE AIN'T HAD NOTHIN BUT MAGGOTY BREAD FOR THREE STINKING DAYS!! YEH! WE WANTS SOME MEATS!!! WHAT ABOUT THEM? THEY'RE FREEESSSH!" To which she (as caught on film) replied with "THESE ARE NOT FOR EATING!!" And then pretty much threatened us with her fist in our face.



And here is a Sweed and a Norwegian pretending that they like each other. Or something like that:). Maybe it was after the famous Oslo peace accord. Yeh, pretty sure about that, yeh, yeh pretty sure....
