Chapter 4 - Planning a Trek
Planning is one of the great joys of an adventure. Anticipation
builds when a group pores over maps and plans what to see
and do in the out-of-doors. As you form a trip itinerary, you can
imagine hiking a woodland trail, casting for catfish in a slowmoving
river, or carving turns in fresh snow with cross-country
skis. As you gather your gear you can almost see your tent
pitched in a deep forest, your pack leaning against the summit
marker of a high peak, your canoe paddle dipping into the
waters of a quiet lake. As you repackage provisions, you can
look forward to tasty dishes cooked outdoors. Once everything
is prepared, anticipation will turn to action, and you can enjoy
every adventure to the fullest.
