Day three out at
Wisdom. I think the combination of mole skin and sleep did the
trick. It stung on the hike in but after we got to work my ankle felt
like it was back to normal. Today we cut wood… lots of wood. If
Paul Bunyan were around I think he would have given us a nod of approval if not
a hearty handshake. We all had a whack with the chainsaw (only to buck
and limb) and the axe and I have to say that as of now I favor the
chainsaw. Don’t get me wrong, the axe is great and would probably be more
useful than a chainsaw in the zombie apocalypse, but I have yet to master the
art of splitting wood. With a chainsaw you really just need common sense
and a bit of endurance as that thing is heavy!
In total I
believe we felled and chopped up ten trees at our current spot. Tomorrow
we will be repeating the process at another campsite in the Wisdom area.
I think I heard Chelsea say we can drive right up to that one though. I
have my fingers crossed.
Free time was
scarce again while the sun was high, but we had fun in the after hours.
Whitney and I found a 500 piece puzzle in the cabin we are staying at and set
out to conquer it. Once we discovered two of the border pieces were
missing we considered our efforts a valiant attempt and put it away. The
puzzle had a picture of a school of fish if you were curious. We then
proceeded to play Cranium with everyone else. Whitney and I rocked
it. We were always on the fast track. Even in the end when we
agreed to a best 2 out of 3 club craniums to determine the winner we came out
on top. The other teams gave us 1 point to start with since we were the
furthest on the board, this point would prove crucial as we failed to win a
single club cranium up to this point. I
mean, we would have probably won if we just played the game out, but
regardless, victory!
Well it is time
to call it a night. I’m sitting on a bunk in our cozy, wood-stove furnace
cabin writing by the light of my head lamp and I am insanely sore. Sorry
I haven’t been able to reach any of you by phone. Wisdom has no cell
service whatsoever. Hopefully I will get to talk to you all soon.
Good night!
