So here we go again! So far, this upcoming leg, leg 3, has needed the most preparation but it is also the most anticipated thus far.
We started packing on Wednesday so we wouldn’t forget anything seeing as this is a pretty different hike than the first two we’ve done. The plan is to leave from Guelph tonight at 5. Arrive at Brock U an hour and a half later, hit the trail at the 26.3km mark and boot it to Short Hills Provincial Park and camp out guerilla style. That’s right! Hike. Sleep. Hike.
Kattina and I have never tried this before and I am very excited and a little bit afraid…I’m like 17% nervous, 4% scared, 69% excited, 2% hungry, and 8% wishing I had more experience!
Top 10 Fears for this journey include
1- Running out of water
2- Squatting down to poop and being bit by a snake
3- Getting lost
4- Meeting a cougar
5- Spotting a T-Rex
6- Being Arrested
7- Hobo with a glass eye
8- Brussels Sprouts
9- Exhaustion
10- Diarrhea
Thursday night (last night), got the groceries for tonight and Saturday. Drew and I had a pretty insane time in line at Metro on Stone Rd. The cashier attempted to charge me for two heads of lettuce that I had not purchased (simple mistake I think), but the crazy part was that it took no less than 7 minutes to get them off of the bill…it was crazy. She chalked it up to “possessed” cash registers. I started thinking of how weird it would be if Jesus cast out that legion of demons into a herd of cash registers…just a thought…
Today on my lunch break I planned to just run home and grab the gear and prep the food for tomorrow which went fine. Then, I lost my mind! I couldn’t find my knee brace anywhere! Seriously does anyone else want to go Hulk when you can’t find something you KNOW is around? I could’ve exploded, but you know what? I am not a fan of letting anger ruin an upcoming adventure! So I took some deep breaths and got in the car and grabbed a coffee at the neighborhood Tim’s.
Well, we’re off now. We’ll be sure to submit our trip log as soon as we get back!
Love Zach + Kattina + Bruce
