Day 3 This morning we woke up at 6:30 to pack up camp and get ready for the day. We did start breakfast late, so we left a little behind schedule – we’re going to work on it! It was our first long day, and we went about 35 miles total. We left Provincetown and […]
Day 4 of the Lake Ontario Trek; it was a peaceful Canadian morning in Balls Falls. The sun rose through the trees awaking the birds. Blue jays screaming at the top of their lungs at 5 AM is no way to start a long day. After a quick breakfast, and some fresh plums from a […]
Last night rained all night and everything and everyone got so wet. At 6 AM, Hannah and Ben woke us up with pancakes cooking in the drizzly fog. They were delicious. We rolled out by 7:30 and then made it into Bar Harbor for a little break at the piano. This group has amazing musicians. […]
Our camp woke up at 8:00 and had bagels and cereal for breakfast . Then we got on our bikes and explored the visually stunning and hilly Dunes Edge Trail. We stopped at Herring Cove Beach to swim and then biked to Race Point Beach to have lunch. On our way the the grocery store we stumbled […]
Today we began with a boat ride. Not just any boat ride, a fishing trip. We booked an 8 am fishing trip. It was some of our first times fishing and we caught five keepers and plenty of others. The boat ride was three hours. Six of us decided to take the public bus back with our […]
Day Three: Going to Canada. Waking up at 7:20 is HARD. Though oatmeal with banana, and orange juice for breakfast totally made up for it. We left pretty much immediately, leaving at 9:10, and headed straight for the border. At this point it started raining, and we got kind of wet while waiting at the check point, but […]
Day one! This morning, after meeting the group and distributing group gear, we got on the ferry to Provincetown. It was really windy and a lot of fun. When we reached Provincetown we did a ‘get to know you circle’, assigned jobs for the day and talked about the rules of the road. Then we […]
Today we woke up at 2:35 am and left briskly at 2:45 in the dark merky morning. Why? Because we were going to follow the teen trekkers tradition of hiking up Cadillac Mountain to see the entire progeration of the sun rising. On the hike up we said hi to a cute porcupine also on an evening trot. Once we […]
Today we went to a gorge in Niagara Falls NY that was created by Niagara Falls. We had to take an elevator that was 17 floors tall. At the bottom, there was many signs explaining the history of how the gorge was made. We hiked all the way to the end of the trail to […]
