Get-away

GET-AWAY ACTIVITIES:

My roommates and I spent 2 nights at a cabin in a near-by park this week.
I did this get-away once before without crashing/relapsing.

The weather was cold, windy, and cloudy mostly - we even had snow the last day.

We sat out by the fire a lot, ate a lot, and I did two walks. One was a good distance (flat and equivalent of a 1/2- 1 block - 5min or less), the other was too long. I haven't had a big crash yet, but quite often it comes 36-48hrs later, we'll see. I'm feeling sick, but not terrible.

With the second walk I just couldn't hold myself back and it was down hill on the way there (to a Lake Superior lookout) so I kept going. On the way back it was gradual up hill and a real struggle. I had to stop lots and rest. Afterwards I had constant leg tremors for the rest of the day, all night, and into the next day.

Otherwise, I took it pretty easy - reading, resting, and some visiting.

WILDLIFE:

We saw lots and lots of deer - including bucks, a wolf on the side of the road that actually howled after I tried howling at it (poor photo sorry), a few ravens, some whiskey jacks/Canadian jays, a red squirrel and some snow buntings.

I'm posting a few photos....enjoy
