Day 5!

 Day 5  Friday may 13th

After the last couple days of adventures, we sat down to plan more of our road trip today. With a game today and tomorrow, we needed to make steady progress to further our trips itinerary! We planned campgrounds for the 2 nights following Acadia National Park and left room for some fun day activities along the way. River crossing and lakes stops will be out friend!! The next obstacle we are facing is finding a car service to take from our point to point hike in the chic chocs. It’s around 30 miles to backpack from one point to the other so we would need to find a shuttle or car to bring us back to our car. Our small outside activity today was visiting Elbow pond to cool off after our game! It offered a little sanctuary after a busy work day. Finally, we watched Thelma and Louis, a movie about 2 women who went on a road trip, and realized what not to do when we leave for ours! 

Hours 4.5

    Yes, excited to hear more - did you figure out if you can reserve campsites in the Chic Chocs?

Sunday reflection!

The first week of senior project had its challenges as well as its successes. In the first few hours of our first day we felt a huge surge of freedom that we needed to learn how to manage after being on a tight schedule for the past 4 years at Proctor. Although ecstatic to begin planning our trip and start adventuring, we were still at a loss for where to start. A huge reason that Meg and I decided to do this project was to gain independence and learn how to do something that would help us in real life so Annie helped us to settle into our project after those first few hours. Her experience with planning this sort of trip is very beneficial for us.  Our first hike was to the cabin where we got the first glimpse of what we would be doing for the next 2.5 weeks. It was amazing to get outside on a nice day and explore the woodlands behind Proctor. We biked to school one day and the distance that I drive each day really set in and I can appreciate the ability I have to drive to Proctor...

sunday reflection! #2

Week number two of senior project in the books and it has been a great way to close out my time at Proctor. It allows for more freedom while doing things I really enjoy. Meg and I indulged in a variety of activities this week that brought us outside and occasionally outside our comfort zones. For example, we golfed 9 extremely humbling holes this week. I went over the details in a past blog but let it be known that it was not my most athletic look! We also went for a couple more hikes and were able to go with friends which is nice when sometimes you need a third opinion on which trail leads where. This whole experience has benefited me in more ways than one and it has prepared me and Meg for our post graduation journey into reality. We have learned the value of sticking to a bit of a schedule when we have a lot of time on our hands but also being able to be ok with switching it around to fit our priorities the best. On our adventure to balanced rock after we went about a mile of track,...
