Once upon a time on Rose Lake, paddling with Bob on ancestors of recent packrafts, it was getting late. It was getting dark, windy, and a storm was coming. “How far you wanna go Bob?“, I asked.
“You better take your headlamp Robert” replied Bob. “And paddle harder, it’s still a ways to go. We have to Beat the Darkness tonight!“
Since this moment I now know, when Bob calls for beating the darkness, it will be tough.
