Day 483: One day hike 2013

We had an awesome day and I have much to say about our adventures, but we are so tired.  The weather was perfect, 60 - 70 with bright sunshine and a little breeze.  The kids had many equipment issues including a girl who brought a fourteen pound four person tent for herself and her partner.  Many  kids wore packs that did not fit and many more did not have the proper clothing.  Several neglected to bring their water bottles and whistles.  It's like we never held class or the equipment seminar or very few listened to any thing we said.

It was a joy nevertheless and we saw lots of growth.  I told Steve at the end of the busy day that all the floundering makes me believe that it is all the more important to continue.
