I lead a circuitous circumambulation over moss-covered logs to a peat bog or muskeg. We enjoy the sponginess of the wetland and I point out a carnivorous plant that lives along the margins of small ponds called the roundleaf sundew.

We take on nature-names. I call myself “Greenleaf “and joining me is Lone Wolf , Black Bear, Columbine, Salmon, Misty Fiord and Aguila. I ask folks to come up with a highlight from this week and a story to share around the campfire later in the evening.

Our dinner, campfire and story-telling were quite moving. We enjoyed a new kind of semora, taught by our Aussie friends. Instead of melting the marshmallow on the end of a stick, why not slice open a banana and stick the chocolate and marshmallows inside? What a delight along with sleeping in the incredibly peaceful out-of-doors.

Spread the Adventure!
