We clear the path, we pave the way, to peace on earth, to a brighter day.
Hello there! Hope you all had a great weekend :D Saturday my Ranger unit headed out on part of the Bruce Trail to do some backpacking. I got to dust off my big backpack for another run before GM. I swear it keeps getting smaller - it seemed massive when I bought it two years ago. I'll be doing some clever packing, for sure.
First we hiked all the way up here, then around and down the escarpment.
It was a lot of fun, and the first time I'd hiked that long with that much weight to carry.
After all the hiking we were glad to be cooking supper at our campsite xD
Our backpacking trip reminded me of a few things I still have to do before GM. Waterproofing my hikers again is a must...at the last camp I went to in Manitoba we went on a canoe trip. Let's just say the canoe wasn't the only thing tripping into water ;D So my shoes are probably due. I've also got to invest in some carabiners that won't break so easily - hanging water off my backpack is a lot easier than digging for it every time. Mel has a fish-shaped one...I'm keeping my eyes peeled for one shaped like a flamingo.
Rangers got to apply for different jobs and teams to do their volunteering for GM. I'm on the photography team, and our first task is to get creative and make a "Here's Looking at Me" page about ourselves. I've been busy working on that (in between working on my history summative, of course ;D).
So that's what's going on GM-wise over here. Let me know how you're getting ready in the comments!
Days to GM: 38
