The weather forecast is for extremely hot weather for the next few days, so Bear B.U.M. and Bobby decide to go on another canoe trip - this time to Massasauga Provincial Park. Neither Bobby, nor Bear, have been to this park so it will be quite the adventure. Not the least of which, is that the park is home to the only poisonous snakes in Canada - The Massasauga Rattle Snake.
As they turn into the entrance of the park, Bear sees this sign and starts to panic and gets very worried. Bobby tells Bear to quit worrying and to - 'suck it up buttercup'. Bear is very displeased with Bobby's attitude.
After a 30 min paddle, during which Bear did not even speak to Bobby, they arrived at the first portage. Bear could not believe it when Bobby made poor Bear walk along the path first, in case of Rattlesnakes. Bear was afraid and became very angry towards Bobby.
Bear was even more angry when they finally made it to the end of the portage and it was raining. In fact, Bear wouldn't even talk or look at Bobby the entire way to the first camp site.
When they arrived at the camp site, Bobby made a fire, took pictures of an eager beaver, and, as well, a beautiful sunset.
While Bobby was busy, Bear just sat on the rock and stared at the sun - getting madder and madder. He was an extremely angry young Bear.
After dinner, Bobby decided that it was time to enjoy a glass, or more truthfully - many glasses, of wine. As Bobby became happier with each glass consumed, Bear became angrier and his head became filled with thoughts of revenge.
Wednesday - Breaking Bad Style
The next day, when Bobby finally awoke, Bear was still sitting on the rock, this time with an evil grin on his face and scissors and an axe in his paws. Bobby didn't understand and when he questioned Bear - well, Bear just starred at him with that evil grin.
Bobby proceeded to make coffee and have his first cigar of the day whilst looking over the lake. It was when Bobby caught a look at himself in the reflection of his coffee mug that he understood Bears revenge. Bobby was now angry and upset. He rushed Bear and fought him, taking away first the scissors then the axe. The fight lasted several minutes. Poor Bear was punched, kicked and finally stepped on by Bobby.
Sometime later that morning, after he grew to like the new image of himself, Bobby apologized to Bear and in return, Bear apologized to Bobby. Their friendship was repaired and all was forgiven.
After lunch, Bear B.U.M. and Bobby set out for their next camp site. It was a two hour paddle, and although very hot out, they didn't notice the heat so much as they paddled into a headwind for the entire time. The new site had an excellent view but it was so very hot.
In fact it was such a spectacularly hot day, that Bear B.U.M. decided to live up to his name and he shed his clothes in search of the all-over tan. Later, Bobby decided that he too should join the all-over Bear B.U.M. tanning club.
After a full day of tanning, Bear B.U.M. and Bare Bum Bobby, sat around the fire enjoying a glass of wine and the wilderness.
Thursday - The End
The next morning was uneventful as Bear B.U.M. and Bobby packed up and headed for home. Another great trip - Breaking Bad Style! (and no MF snakes on this canoe trip)
