River Trip by Otto Koerber

Becca came in to wake us up in the morning. It was so early that I found myself stumbling to the bus. The bus took us to breakfast at WT which was really good and definitely the biggest breakfast I’ve had in years. It is a shame that we don’t get breakfast at WT normally. After breakfast we got back on the bus for about 1 minute as we quickly split into two mini vans that we used to drive on the hilly gravel roads with the trailer full of kayaks. We drove for well over 2 hours which was dreadful as my phone died 15 minutes in. The vans were also hot as the engine heat radiated into the cabin area. After the long drive, we jumped out of the mini vans, and started unloading the kayaks. As we unloaded the final few, we realized that our journey to the river was far from over. As the depressing ran started to pick up, we slowly moved ourselves to the put in. The misquotes swarmed us despite us putting on bug spray. Every step was more painful than the last. Once our eyes saw the appearance of what looked like the put in, the irritating hike quickly faded away.
