Canoe camping

One week a summer, for as long as I can remember, I wave goodbye to my mom through the car window at six in the morning. I am inside my family’s Subaru Outback along with my dad, little brother, little sister, and a trunk full of camping gear packed so methodically that there is a six inch square of sight out the rear window. After a five hour drive we will be transported from the neat suburbs of Long Island to the forests of the Adirondack Mountains, where we will be greeted by my Aunt Carol and

load up in the water. My canoe partner (Loren) and I waited in the water for easily an hour. It was miserable because I felt I was being teased.

Our camping trip was so beautiful and such a great time. The camp ground you found for us was amazing. It was so nice and quiet and I have never camped at a walk-in site before and thought that was pretty cool. I absolutely loved our campfire after

first year and first wilderness trip at Camp Birchwood in northern Minnesota. Four other kids, three counselors, and I had been canoeing for three days through the Boundary Waters, a vast network of lakes on the U.S. border with Canada. I’d been camping countless times with my parents and friends, and thought my fit at camp was perfect. This morning I found myself breaking down one of the tents. I prided myself on my outdoor skills, and took the tent down just fine. But being ten and small, I

As an emergency physician and master of the seas, it was my job to either know everything or handle everything regardless of the chaos being thrown my way. I went about my life hearing the same clich? statement from college
