This morning began exactly how last night ended, in
complete disarray. Our entire tent group had slept through three alarms and
awoke to Sean telling us it was almost eight. Him and I our trek back to the
van in search of new stove parts. We had hoped to reward ourselves when we got
back to the van with a lovely outhouse poop, but sadly none of them had any
toilet paper available. On top of this, one of the stoves had a wrong part to
it and the other has proven to be a massive pain in the butt thus far. This was
due to some aspect of it needing maintenance. It took much pumping, but we
finally got it to light. Shortly thereafter, Ashley decided to try and eat some
white gas and let out a shriek, causing Boz to come and see why she was dying.
During all this, Tracy, Kara, and Ashley were all saying how they better not be
scout or smoother for today. Of course, Ashley ended up being scout and Tracy
ended up being smoother. At the start of our journey, Ashley was assaulted by a
branch causing her face to bleed. She left the blood on all day as a reminder
of how tough she really can be. Our hike was not nearly as long as it once was
planned on, which is probably a good thing considering how tired we all were by
the end of it. My group of misfits is now making a dish of ramen surprise. After this we will begin our quest to hang our
bear bags again. If you all heard us last night, you know this is a struggle
for us. Hopefully we can do it under an hour and half this time. I’ll let you
all know in the morning on how this task went for us four this time around.
