Roughing It It began with a 12 hour Sunday bus ride on the first day and a 15 mile treck across a lake on the next. This, at first, doesn ' t sound very appealing to many, but to some it was the Cana- dian canoe trip. After the group of 40 people left the trading post in Cana- da, civilization was sparce and the peacefulness slowly become a way of life. It rained almost every day but everyone got used to being wet. The group ate dehydrated food and the fish caught with bare hands. The mosquitoes became the mascots to the canoers. This may not sound like a vacation brochure, but to many the laziness in the afternoon and the quietness at night was a wonderful way to spend 1 1 days.
