Day 1202: Seventy degrees!

So, I have something new to add to the book!  Two vegans.  A mom called tonight and said that a month ago her daughter and a friend decided to become vegans.  Hadn't they told us already?  Of course not.  Neither child had the courtesy to mention it, even though we cooked meals and packed dried food all week.

I ran the cook class without Steve and did just fine.  I don't do things exactly as he does, but we get the job done.    The only flub was forgetting to actually strike the match.  We all had a good laugh!  Kathy helped out by teaching about stove fueling.  It was an opportunity for her to meet some of the kids ahead of the first hike next week.  My girls Clare and Haley were back again for their fourth day.  So grateful for their help and leadership.  Since the freshmen student leaders did not get the whole Quest experience last year, this class on cheesy potatoes was a good refresher.

Three more miles focusing on hills were added to the tally today, plus an hour of raking and hauling leaves and debris out of the back gardens.  Seventy degrees twice in a week brought out the daffodils and the lilac buds are ready to burst.  There won't be any leaf coverage for potty time during the one day hike, but we might have some for the two day.
