Update Wow Long Time No Post

Update Wow long time no post. Sorry guys but I've been pretty busy lately right after I got back from my camping trip. When I got back from my camping trip, I found out that my grandpa in China had past away. It was too bad my dad didn't get to see him, he was supposed to to but we didn't expect my grandpa to leave so suddenly. I'm just glad that I got to see him this summer and spend some time with him. He was a great guy, knew a lot of and been through a lot but never seemed to talk about it. I always picked on him too, just to make him feel younger. Well my dad is on his way to Xiamen now for the funeral, I wish I could go but school starts in about a week. Yesterday Yesterday was all good. Jaime came over to my house and I made dinner. She hadn't been over to my place in a long time so we had a good time just relaxing and being in each other's company. I made some T-Bone steaks and they were awesome, I'm thinking about cooking again tonight. BWCA Camping Trip As you all know, I went camping for a few days up in the Boundry Waters. My camping trip this year was a hard one. First off we were scheduled on a wrong day so we didn't get to go to Big Moose Lake. Instead our group was assigned to Angleworm. The people told us it was a long portage trail, about 2 miles. We didn't think 2 miles wasn't that bad. Damn 2 miles at Angleworm is bad. Our group had a lot of packs because they always like to bring a lot of food in and eat really good meals, well that took a toll on our backs. The trail at Angleworm is all narrow and bumpy, there are a lot of inclines, declines, muddy and rocky areas. It felt like being on a Stairmaster that generates randomly shaped stairs. On top of that, we had 4 aluminum canoes weighing at 85lbs each to bring in. Carrying those canoes on your back and walking 2 mile on that trail was the hardest and toughest camping experience I went through. Oh did I mention that Will went with me? Yes he did, and I worked him pretty hard. I think he came out more of a man from this camping trip. When we got to Angleworm, it was beautiful. We were totally separated from civilization. It was so quite out there that you can hear the silence. At night the stars were so bright you could see the milkyway and orbiting satellites, not to mention even the shooting stars. The fishing however, sucked. Compared to Big Moose Lake, the fishing on Angleworm was tough. Our group of 8 barely caught enough fish to eat. I myself didn't catch anything bigger than 3 inches...it was sad. Despite the hard work and the lack of big fish, my camping trip was still awesome! I'm definately going back next year, but to Big Moose Lake, not to Angleworm ever again...hehe. I encourage you guys to visit the Boundry Waters at least once in your lifetime. New pics BWCA
