Ask and Thou Shall Receive

It seems we were wind bound in Pukaskwa National Park more days than we paddled. Moderate to strong winds were forecasted on a daily basis. Our soon to be permanent residence was at the mouth of the North Swallow River. It was a nice place to be wind bound. The campsite had an outhouse (a luxury for us), a small waterfall only a short hike from the campsite and a beautiful fine white sand beach. It was the campsite that marked the southern tip of the coastal hiking trail so a boat carrying hikers would come to shore every couple of days.
After two wind bound days and no outside human contact of any kind, I longed for some company. Jon, who could be considered more introverted loved the solitude. I, on the other hand, am an extrovert and was slowly going a little crazy. My partial insanity could also be blamed due to the lack of chocolate confection on the expedition. I craved to sink my teeth into a chocolate bar! We kept ourselves busy with photography, hiking, swimming and writing. My cravings for company and chocolate were satisfied one glorious evening when we spotted the aluminum boat off in the horizon disappearing into the trough of the waves as they came into the beach. Hikers walked off the boat and we spent the evening sharing a campfire with them. As we watched the sunset we were surprised to see two kayakers appear in the distance. They came ashore and once they had set up camp came to join us by the fire. To my utmost delight, one of the kayakers was carrying with him three x-large chocolate bars. Beautiful scenery, good company and yummy chocolate - a perfect combination.
