How do I put into words my gratitude and appreciation for an amazing event and opportunity. The outdoors boasts such a peace and raw beauty that everyday spent amongst it is one more day of pure tranquility within myself. Canada has a landscape similar to the Midwest of the United States, but even more stunning with its extreme abundance of game. Ever did I feel confined nor distressed but more like part of the team and always having a place to belong. The many laughs we shared will always be remembered. I never imagined that within a few days’ time complete strangers would become so close. Everyone in camp brought something special and I am honored to have new friends in such great places. To me, it seems that mother nature knows how to pair outdoorsmen together and connect. Trip of a lifetime! Truly, I am gracious for the opportunity to enjoy sometime with great people in a beautiful place. The complete circumstance of this event makes every part of the trip feel so right. Thank you to every person involved in every way.
