Yeah it sounds painful, but I had great time. 43 miles in 3 and a half days isn't so bad. I went to Canada and it was so beautiful. My strap on my pack broke though as we were getting onto the sea plane. Oh well at least it was at the end of the trip. Anyway if anyone has the opportinity to go backpacking you should go, its so much fun. I went to Isle Royal with is an island just off of Canada. Suprisingly I'm not really that sore. But I am rambling, so I will just say I feel so out of the loop now that I am back. I am just trying to figure out what happened this last week while I was gone.
