Epic trail

This week was one of the best one's I've had here! Like I mentioned before I got River Riders. My girls were 11-14 yrs old and we went on 3 day canoeing trail. We were supposed to leave on Tuesday morning and come back on Thursday. Well because of my eye infection, I first of all had to clean up my whole cabin with cleenex etc, we couldn't leave until Wednesday morning. It was all good though cause that way we had actually time to pack our stuff.

Trail was epic! We had 10 girls though which is a lot for trail. And having that many campers we couldn't have the same schedule with the guys, even though it usually is. And two of my best friends were doing it!!!! Oh well. All of the girls were really great except for one, who was a total idiot to be honest. She would keep talking back and thinking she could do anything. Paddling was amazing! The weather was perfect, our schedule was quite chilled. The only thing is that we asked for three water containers, but only got two. And one of them leaked, so we had 2 gallons of water for 12 people for a whole day. So obviously we ran out of water. We had to cook all our meals to that river water. We also got freaked that we actually have to drink that the next day. Cause the map was outdated and there was no water at the camp site we're camping even though it said it had it, and the next one was in 9 miles. There was no way my girls could do that without water. Luckily in the morning we found people's cabins and got water from them.
We also made two one match fires and one NO MATCH FIRE!!! I'm so proud of that. The dinner fire had been gone for few hours, but we just kept blowing in it and got the fire going eventually! yay. All the people from my group received a poopbracelet from pooping in the nature (dig a hole and poop in it, cover up). So proud of them!
Only bad thing was the mosquitos!! I got eaten alive, even after Predator pray. Oh well I have no skin left that's not just full of red spots. But it was totally worth it! And even though I got an epic burn that blistered up and looks green now, I loved the trail! :D
Next week TB's, so over night trail and now sailing!!! woopwoop!
