Posted: March 23rd 10 PM Managatoggan,
Manitoba
| We left the Bruce's home at Loon Straights well fed
and loaded down with fish for the dogs and tons of other good food.
We had covered more than 10 mile before 11 AM when we stopped for
our first rest. The sun was getting hot and the dogs needed a break.
We munched on our homemade bannock smothered in the margarine and
homemade jam that Doreen had tucked into the growing pile of food
as we packed our sleds. |

The votes are in and so I have shaved my beard.
Frosty helped with the hedge trimming faze and I cleaned up with
the razor.

We found this Inuikshuk on the side of the
lake. Do you have any idea how would have built this, and why?
|
By 3 PM we had covered over 20 miles and were ready
to find a place to camp. I noticed a cabin about a mile away and we
headed for towards it for a closer look. We found a clean, inviting
cabin and decided to stop for the night. The strong sun had melted
much of the snow in the yard and for the first time in months Lichen
and Saylix had a bed of pine needles to lay on. They sniffed and scratched
at the ground and seemed to enjoy their new home. We all sat outside
enjoying the warm day and talked about the coming of spring. |
|
In the morning I realized that I had to shave my beard. The votes
were tallied and 98% of you said I should shave my beard, not an
easy task. After about an hour of hacking away with scissors and
a razor my smooth, bare skin was unveiled for the first time in
many months.
We marched into a strong south wind all day yesterday and it felt
strange to have the wind beating against my face. It was only 15
miles to where we were planning to camp for the night, but fighting
our way into the wind made travel harder than normal.

Lichen and Saylix love the treats that the
students from Otwell Middle School made for them. Frosty even
tried one and said they are pretty good. Maybe he has been on
the woods too long!

We would like to welcome Scott
McPherson as our first L.A.G.I.T. , or Learning Adventure Guide
In Training.

This morning the sun woke me up at 6 AM. I was looking
forward to sleeping in so I pulled my sleeping bag over my head and
enjoyed several more hours of sleep before lighting the fire and starting
my morning chores. Around 10 AM we walked into the town of Managatogon.
We were planning to meet our friends Scott and Dean in town at the
hotel. We arrived a little early and had breakfast and a bottomless
cup of coffee while we waited. Scott and Dean arrived at noon and
we chatted all afternoon enjoying each others company. Dean returned
to Winnipeg, but Scott will be joining us for the last week of the
adventure. |
