Right now, as I sit in front of my computer, and think on the list of friends that if they called me, I’d drop everything and go to their aid, or inversely if I were in trouble, the people I would call. Pretty much all of them are from St. Johns.
I didn’t feel that I knew another staff member until I had done a trip with them. The shared moments of beauty — sunsets over a still lake, loons calling, frost on a mountain meadow as we got on the trail before the sun hit the vallely. The shared hardship — sweating the Samuel Herne over a tough portage, collecting wood at the end of a long day of dog sledding, staggering with fatigue, cutting trail through bug infested muskeg, Cold driving rain. Muscle cracking headwinds.
