72 Hour Test Trip Aug 28 2009

So the next morning, we were feeling a little stiff. The dogs seemed to content just to be with us. We found a Tim Horton's to use the bathrooms and ate our granola bar breakfast. We travelled around trying to find this one dog park but to no avail. We found some more trails and did some hiking. But by late afternoon, Shane was feeling pretty sick. We went home so he could rest a bit. After awhile, he started to feel a little better. It was drizzling out but we headed downtown and walked around Thames Park. We went up to the raised Pavillion and sat for awhile. There were 3 old fellas that were chatting and then they started a conversation with us asking about our dogs as people often do. After we walked in the rain under the bridge. We then headed over to Victoria Park. It started to downpour like crazy but we just kept walking with the dogs who got a lovely bath. At around 11pm, we headed home and slept there. The next day, Shane was still feeling under the weather somewhat. We still ate and drank from our kits until our 72 hours were up.

Things we learned:
We had plenty of food and water.
Bring the folding screen kennel to put the dogs to sleep in outside the van.
And yes, we will try this again in the summer.
