Well, I’ve just arrived back in Fredericton, NB after surviving the Fundy camping trip. On the car trip down (with Andrew) I came up with a slogan for the Fundy trip: “Fundy: What We Lack in Substance We Make Up for in Hype.” It became evident to me very quickly that all the purported “hype” was just intended to mislead me and in fact, Fundy was much worse than the hype. My new slogan was “Fundy: Damn Lies!” And while that slogan stuck and was quoted often over the trip, another slogan started coming up time and time again, “Fundy Will Not be Mocked!”
Regardless of the slogans, hype, lies and frustration, I had a good weekend and managed to push myself further that I expected I would. Of course, that’s not saying too much, I was expecting an easy time of it. I learned a few things too:
1. I’m not such a young man anymore.
2. I have no desire to spend time away from my wife in the near future.
Tomorrow, we make the twelve hour drive back to Ottawa and Jenn — sigh. I’m looking forward to that. Perhaps later this week, I’ll give more of a rundown of the events of Fundy 2004.
