May 24, 2006: Hamilton to Madawaska

Most of day one was spent packing bins and getting angry at clutter. Amy was packed the night before, but as always I tried to jam a week’s worth of work into an hour. We didn’t get out of Hamilton until after 5 (only 5 hours later than planned). By the time we had dropped off Melnick, picked up Dave, and hit the 400 North it was already after 8. We then proceeded to take the long route to Madawaska (through Algoinquin Park where, in an attempt to top the Hyundai incident, we came within 20 feet of smoking a moose). We arrived around midnight to a mostly drunk Hostel, and a slightly worried Cambell. Apparently he was concerned we had changed our minds about the trip or completely forgotten to pick him up. The hostel manager (Fraser) let us stay in an unused staff cabin for sweet sweet sleep. Thanks, Madawaska… (View all of our pictures here: http://www.burak.ca/gallery/v/YukonHo/)
