This past weekend, a group of 5 girls (yes 5 girls) took a long, long, very long drive up to Saco River Maine for some canoeing and camping. It pretty much rained the whole weekend, so there was a lot less canoeing then anticipated and more time spent in the tents playing card games ands taking funny random pictures. Saturday morning, however, our prayers were answered when the sun finally came out and we got a good 3-4 hours of awesome weather. Then of course, the rain came back, then left, then came back...you get the picture. Along with the rain came the wonderful MOSQUITOS!!! They were so bad, you could barely open your mouth without a few of them flying in. Each of us 5 girls came home looking like we were covered in hives. It was torture!! Anyway, all in all, it was definitely an adventure. Lesson learned: always bring men camping with you. They do all the work and you just sit back and feed them!!!
My friends LOVED wrestling me to the ground and throwing me in the river. In their defense, I always started the fights...but always lost.
You can see my ripped arms in this picture as I'm bungee cording the canoes together. Consider this your ticket to the gunshow.
This guy was dubbed (by me of course) as the 40 year old virgin. I kindda gave him a hard time and when he asked me if I was registered to be staying at that campsite, I pretty much told him that he could "register me" anytime he wanted to. Lets just say the whole campsite was laughing at me as I was torturing him.

BUT YOU HAVE DAINTY WRISTS!!! Did yo unot tell those people that?! I'm just sayin'. . . .
Hope the river wasn't too cold. And seirsouly, leave poor park ranger/campsite registration checkers alone. They're just doing all they can to make it through each day. And You're not helping. :D
i did say that i had dainty wrists!! but nobody budged. i bungee corded those canoes together like a champ. the river wasn't too cold. it felt good to jump into it after throwing around a frisbee for a billion hours and playing touch football (with a large group of manly men)...quite the workout:)
