The first time I went backpacking was in Algonquin Provincial Park. I went during the long weekend in May of 1998. My friend, Felix had packed my bag sooo heavy I had a lot of trouble carrying it within the first 2 km. Dan, Mike(from Alberta), Howie, and Felix all had to take turns carrying my pack.
The next day was great though! My backpack was considerably lighter since I had carried the first meal and I actually kept up with the rest of the gang pretty well. The hiking was exhilarating while the swims in the lakes were refreshing. I never though camping food would be sooo delicious and that the stars in the clear night sky would be bright and shiny. I had so much fun with the bonfires & loved eating midnight snacks. I knew it wasn't going to be my last trip.
