| The start of the challenge hike. It's always good to get a good headcount to start. It won't stop us from losing people, but at least we'll know how many we lost. |
At the rest stop, Bob shows us the advanced techniques in trail recovery. |
 |
 |
| The rest of us take care of the food portion of the challenge. |
No one is quite sure which direction is back. |
 |
 |
| But we can all agree on which direction is up. |
Six miles from where we expected to be. What will we do, what will we do? |
 |
 |
| We make friends with a local teen by pretending to do his Tai Chi exercises with him. |
Having made a friend, we convince him to drive some of us back to our cars. |
