Day 11: July 15, 2012

Canoeing back to Mott last night was worth it- sleeping in past 7 or 8 am occasionally is really great. :) Not too late though- had lots to do to get ready for tomorrow!

Did some information backup, organizing and repair of gear, and sanitized our gear again from the Benson sampling. We also packed as little as possible, and tomorrow we leave for our hike to McArgo Cove!!

Around 1 am, we went outside and got to see the Northern Lights. They were really clear, greenish, and completely beautiful. At first, our eyes weren't adjusted and we thought that they were just clouds, but after a few minutes we could see them moving around in the sky, like the bottom of a curtain swaying in a breeze. There were so many stars. We laid outside and just stared at the sky for quite a while. While we were lying there, we heard wolves howling in the distance!! It was one of the coolest sounds, and the perfect soundtrack for the natural light show.

Ended up finally coming in when the mosquitoes finally overwhelmed us. I am so itchy. God bless Sarah for letting me borrow her hydrocortisone cream, or I wouldn't be sleeping. Or probably functioning at all, let's be honest. I think they've got it in for me personally.
