Adventures in the outdoors
Ever since we bought our canoe in August I have been wanting to get out as much as possible. A few weeks ago we got out for a paddle and when we got home, we put away the canoe…..dirty!! In the back of my mind I was hoping to get out one more time, at that point I would do the final wash before storing the canoe. Time passed and the opportunities to get out was slipping through my fingers.
Have you ever planned a trip and then cancel last minute? Was it due to unforeseen circumstances? Was it due to weather? Did you get sick and couldn’t travel? I’m sure we have all come across a situation where a trip that was planned had to be cancelled. Well this past weekend was one of those trips.
The title says it all. If you have ever been backcountry camping, whether it is canoeing or hiking or however, you have probably come across a thunderbox. What is that you say? It’s a fancy term for a bathroom in the outdoors. They are typically a wooden box made from 2 x 4’s with a lid to keep your “seat” dry.
With the change of the seasons, school in session, and regular working hours, our outdoor adventures become limited to weekend outings. These outings now consist mainly of day trips or one nighters.
