Quote of the day: "Ken¹, can you reach the pedals?"

At 06:00, we set forth on our great mission, Junsele in Medelpad (that later proved to be in Ångermanland , but please don't tell our sponsors that!). The luxurious vehicle we used, Håkans brother shiny Warszawa, for transport proved to be a faithful friend.

Junsele by late afternoon. After having travelled more then 100 miles (more then 620 American miles), we found to our big surprise that Junsele was anything but the desolate wilderness we had expected! In the few weeks between us starting to plan the adventure, and arriving there, a metropolis had risen! (2)

Quote of the day: "Better one in the ass, then ten in the forest"

First day of canoeing... we found a heavy clouded sky, fierce wind, and cold water. Life turned hard as nature brought out its true face. We found the Medelpad we went out to find.

Eating what nature provided us with, we found nourishment aplenty. Revealed here is the magic cooking of Bod, in this case elk-kidney ... mishmash. (The previous nights filé vanished from our minds.)

As the mishmash rose inside our tummies, the mood fell as rapidly. PeA did all he could to cheer us up, and bring the adventure spirit back into the team! (He might have been sleeping, we never really did know for sure.) (-)

Monday - 1996-08-05

Good old Monday, and NO WORK!!! During breakfast, everyone danced around, happily singing songs! The mood rose the closer we got to getting back to the campsite. One of the reasons for returning was a slowly sinking canoe. A wet ass is a sorry ass.

It dried. (9)
