Itinernary of last camping trip:

When:  President Day's Weekend

Who:  Roommate and I

Where: Planned on BWCA (Boundary Waters Canoe Are) for some winter camping.
I blew out my knee skiing a month before hand.  When I asked if I could go
on this trip my PT person told me I was not allowed to carry a pack and snow
shoe (had the big knee immobilizer on).  Since she didn't say that I
couldn't snowshoe and being a pain in the rear that I am.  I convince the
roommate that we would do day hikes on the Superior Hiking Trail and camp in
the bus (meaning day pack, instead of full pack or sled).

What Happened:  Roommate joked as backing out of driveway, "watch we won't
even make it to 694 and 35W (roughly 15 miles).  Ten miles later we were
sitting at Applebee's waiting for his girlfriend to pick us up.

Results of the trip:  Caught a buzz with roommate at Applebee's bar.  Love
for my Westy  just grew that much fonder!  The problem that caused the
failed trip, was most likely my oversight.  Went out the next day by Jetta
and did some snowshoeing in the river valley.  Overall a good weekend.

You can't always plan for things to go the way you think they will.  This
statement just become that much more true with a Westy.
