That it must be miserable and you must really stink
So its true you don’t bathe for a week
But everyone you are with really does reek
But that is besides my point I am trying to make
To the Boundary waters is a trip you must take
So what if mosquitoes bite up your toes
In the end this will be a trip you are glad you chose
The work is hard but well worth the ride
When your canoe floats with the wind on the tide
You can just sit back, think and relax
At least this is better then carrying heavy packs
You eat when you are hungry and sleep when your tired
A trip like this truly makes you inspired
You might have to sleep on a rock, root or both
When signing up for this trip its like taking an oath
After your week is put to an end
You will remember this place like a long lost friend
You will always be kept with the emotions you had
And in the end good times will outweigh the bad

It's a shame that last word was cut off.

Other than that I love this poem. It reminds me of my own camping days, and there truly is nothing like it, and nothing quite as inspiring.

I found this a little difficult rhythm wise at the start, it seemed a little rough, but got better as it prgoresssed.

Great write,
*hugs*
