Day 4, onto Blue Creek campground. This was getting onto the last days I didn't wear my rainjacket and bandana on my face to save myself from the mosquito's. That was the day I got really angry, I could of jumped off the cliff and not cared cause I was away from the bugs. That was just a horrible day, I would like not to remember it. Alot of the walk was in a boggy swam area. So that didn't help to much with the bug situation. The trail was really chewed up because of it. Not to mention the the fact that I was already angry that there were bridges where there was no water to cross and no bridges were there was water to cross. It was just very upsetting. I did end up wearing my toque because they were biting my ears so bad they were red and begining to really hurt. I had a hard time sleeping on them the night before. So, Blue Creek is about 11.9kms from Welbourne, and about 62.5kms from the start. That was about the only good news I had that day. You see, we got this map from the cabin in Jasper, not a great map, but one to track the progress. Anyway, I must have looked at that map 4 times a day and I had this peice of paper that had all the kms on it. So the night before I keep telling my friend, it's ok, it's a short day....the bugs won't be as bad. Ha!!! When we were probably about 5 kms from the actual camp, I figured we were getting pretty close, so then the pain and agony would be over, but low and behold, we came upon a sign that said the campground was at least 3 more kms. Now That was tacked on to that 11.9kms. So I know for sure that from Welbourne to Blue Creek that it is not 11.9kms. Let's just say I was not happy. My friend was laughing at me, and probably was just happy she wasn't the one angry. The thing is, I don't usally get that mad about anything, but with the bugs...I just couldn't handle it. So when we finally arrive at camp, which was about 500m off trail, we set up the tent in some random area and our matresses and bags and jumped in the tent and took a nap. That really helped. We woke up later and had some beef jerky and crystal light. Just when we were about to go make supper, we heard something outside our tent. I sounded like a grunting noise. We didn't actually take a look, but we tell everyone it was a moose. Honestly, I just hope it wasn't a bear. When we heard nothing more, we peaked our heads out and cooked supper. The bugs were bad there too. So, as soon as we ate and washed up, we ventured on out for the washroom. Well, this turned out to be one of those half plastic toilet seat things. Pretty nice when it doesn't have a block of ice or maggets crawling on it....another story. But man did it reek. One of the worst washrooms yet. Sure the seat was nice, but I would rather do a balancing act, than spend two seconds to go to that toilet. So we tied our food in the pole, with what do you know, an actual rope and hook that was suppose to be there. It was almost if they had designed it that way. I was just glad to be out of the bugs, and the fact we hadn't seen a bear yet.
