I remember going on walking holidays to Scotland when I was younger and a lot fitter (!) and we would be climbing up mountains only for some bright spark to keep saying, "oh I recognise this rock/bit of snow/bit of grass, I think the end is just round the corner". It never was and a little part of me died everytime that bright spark announced it.<br />Oh and well done for not losing anyone when you were trail leader - that is an achievement worth celebrating in itself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-1000154347982837732010-09-10T07:31:43.820-05:002010-09-10T07:31:43.820-05:00@Gaby - Thanks!

I didn't pack for survival. So basically I got what was left.<br /><br />@WeaselMomma - I shall NEVER forsake Time again.<br /><br />@Missy - The #2 pencil was in the other tent. We had one tent for US and one tent for our stuff. The only things we kept in the US tent were wallets, keys and something for protection. And since I didn't bring anything, I got the knife.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986167130467258392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-62827951807730043542010-09-09T23:21:57.431-05:002010-09-09T23:21:57.431-05:00I cracked up (loudly) at your description of the s...I cracked up (loudly) at your description of the stranger readiness scene.

But there will be one... soon.<br /><br />@The Mommy - There is NO WAY I could make this stuff up. There were 4 of us on this trip. One (The Rookie) I had not met before this trip. They will keep me honest. If I made a blog about our trip almost 20 years ago you REALLY would have trouble believing it.
