NYM Trekkers Cross Border into Quebec

The trekkers awoke to a mostly dry version of Cumberland campground – starkly different to what they had fallen asleep to last night. After laying out the remaining damp items to dry, the group enjoyed yogurt bowls with fresh strawberries for breakfast. The morning moved quickly, as the group efficiently exited camp and approached the Canadian border. Once they arrived at the border they quickly realized the stereotypes about Canadians were right: Canadians are really nice. Soon after crossing the group found that they were very low on water, and had to stop at a gas station. The people who worked at the gas station were very kind and accommodating. They let the whole group into the office space to refuel their waters with filtered water. After a few more wind blown miles, the trekkers stumbled upon their French-Canadian campsite. The boys played various court sports against the young Quebecois, engaging in cultural transfer with the locals. Meanwhile, the girls explored the various amenities of the Canadian campsite. Including, but not limited to; a bingo night event, pool and hot tub, pond (which no one swam in because it had leaches, but it was still pretty), and washing machines with arcade games next to them (fun and bizarre placement combination). The group ended the day with a tasty dinner of fried rice and broccoli and hit the hay early to prepare for their adventure to Montreal tomorrow morning.
