2. Beckers Lodge- Day 1 The three best friends that anyoneee can have!! Cabin mates. Zoe, Chase, and I. Group bondage! Cody, Taryn, Chase, Zoe, Miranda, Jay, and I playing ridiculous games.

3. Just a little exhausted after kick the can. Goodbye, group 2! I think she finds our cabin acceptable. ;)

4. Off to Pat’s Point -Day 2 Packing up our canoes, excited to get on the water! Wasn’t expecting it to be that hard! Taking a break at the entrance of Bowron River.

5. Trying our best to work as a team. Didn’t expect it to be this beautiful! The scorching sun was getting to us! Beautiful weather, and sun basking in the sand.

6. Off to Rum Lake- Day 3 The beautiful moose we woke up to, such a majestic creature! One of the three portages. A nice walk through the jungle.

7. The clearest water all trip! Cariboo River. It was a little shallow, but we made’r! A bit chilly after the tepee sauna! Warming up by the fire.

8. Last visit to Pats Point- Day 4 Putting away the tepee from the sauna the night before. It was totally worth every second of it!! The water filter was only a little bit broken. ;)

9. Don‘t let its looks deceive you.. Its not as fun and exciting as you think it is, especially when Nick, your partner, decides to be a naturalist and doesn’t bring wheels. -.- The birthday kids with there jiffy pop! Lucky ducks.. Funky hair-do feast time!

10. Day 5- Coming home! Its pretty amazing how this…. Turns into this!! In such a short period of time.

11. Its pretty self explanatory. ;) We’re so close, I can almost taste the burger! A REAL MEAL!!!!! She’s a happy frog..

12. 3 Things I Learned Smudging; an aboriginal tradition to cleanse your soul before you start your day. No matter how much you want do things on your own, you will almost always do better with teamwork. I learned how sensitive bears really are to smell, I never thought the littlest bit of food could attract a bear.

13. 3 Things I need to improve I really don’t need my whole wardrobe on a canoe trip! My stern paddling needs some SERIOUS improvement.. More snack food, less stove-required food. (1 more for good luck) – I need to learn how to not forget my stuff everywhere!

14. 3 Things I did well I did well at learning different paddling techniques quickly. I improved quickly on how to use my stove, considering I was scared of it in the beginning. I picked up that guy from Vancouver pretty well, too.
