me, you + waskesui.

Oh man, it's been pretty much forever since I got to write a nice long story about an epic adventure! I haven't put on my good writing cap in quite some time, so cut the slack if I'm a little rust.

On the 15th of May, we departed from Red Deer, with little money, little clothes packed, and little food. Unprepared, just the way I like it. The greatest adventures are derived from the greatest insecurities. The greater chance for trouble, the better. We left quite late in the afternoon, and with an 8 hour drive ahead of us, we knew very well how late we would be arriving. Once out on the road we made little stops. Just a few places here and there for food, but that was about it. Our only other stop was in a random field in the middle of nowhere. We found the darkest place we could, put the car in park, and laid on the hood, basking under a blanket of infinite stars. I can honestly say that I have never seen so many stars at once in my entire life. It was stunning. Absolutely breathtaking. We tried taking some photos, but they don't do justice. At all. This was a form of natural art and beauty that can only be seen in person.

Our destination was Waskesui - a small, Sylvan-like town. Striving with life in the summer, and dead in the winter. But its wayyy nicer than Sylvan Lake. We arrived quite late, but the boys [Ben/Josh/Read] were still partying hard. And so Phil and I joined in. Really, there isn't much I can say about this weekend. We did nothing but party, and chill out in Read's spectacularly spectacular cabin, only 40 feet from the water. Every night, the sun touched the horizon, igniting the sky in shades of blazing orange and red. Saskatchewan really is the land of living skies. Saskatchewan really isn't so bad. No place is better than anywhere else. It's just different.

We met a bunch of cool people, climbed trees, made fires on the beach, had dance parties, didn't wet the bed (with the exception of Read) , and we did a number of other things. I don't know why I feel like there isn't much to say. Maybe it's just one of those weekends where you had to be there to get it. It was a blast. Getting out of Red Deer, even for a few days is always refreshing. I love exploring places I've never been. I love new things. This trip has just got me more excited for travelling around aimlessly with hopes of only gaining experience and spirit. I think I'm out of things to say, other than, enjoy the photos.
