Backpacking

November 23/05:
Xera and Koal earned their two last legs towards their backpacking title, hiking 32 km (approx. 20 miles) from Wellington to Summerside (St.Eleanors) on the Confederation Trails. It was a beautiful day, mild but got colder during the day. A huge thank you to my great friend Andrea for helping me with the dogs! We left home at 9:20am and arrived back at 4pm (including a few breaks and lunch).
