So all the big, terrifying things to sort out have finally fallen into place; our vehicle is ready to go, we have a trailer, and our canoe is waiting for us in B.C.!  Now all that’s left are the little things, like food and supplies, which (granted) will add up to be another big task to tackle.
 
As you may or may not know, some members of No Way Corvee are in a folk band named after David Thompson himself.  They have been playing around Thunder Bay informing people about what we are doing this summer, as well as raising funds for our adventure.  So with that in mind, I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who has supported us, particularly the LU Forestry students who hired our band to play at their ring ceremony and the LU Outdoor Recreation students who hosted us at their gathering also. Every bit goes a long way, and to speak on behalf of the David Thompson Band, you are all so very awesome!!

With the exception of one more essay, I have essentially finished another year of university.  I find my excitement for this trip is definitely rising to a whole other level now that my head isn’t buried in assignments!  The lack of snow on the ground is raising some excitement also - I saw a butterfly this afternoon! Woo!

Here's another Youtube link to a good tune (why not?).  Ohbijou is a wonderful Canadian group - their music makes me reminisce of summer!  I've seen them twice in the Bay and I look forward to seeing them again in the future.  Cheers : )
