Well it all started when the rain started to come down, we knew we were in for it. The rain kept coming like as though it`s source was a bottomless bucket. Washington was the place, and there was no backing out now. We had picked up the 6 kids and their fearless leader that morning and were going to be driving 2.5 hrs and hiking 5 miles (talk about a long day). Needless to say the kids joyfully set up their tents that night and went straight to bed not even taking the time to eat some food! I was surprised because they are all between the age of 13-17 and are growing so I was surprised they were not hungry. I do not want to share my entire trip on this post so if you want to learn more about how the trip went come talk to me, I will be more then willing to share. But to wrap up the trip in a couple sentences I will say this. We missed all but one tide and waited many hours for the tides to lower. And ate not so much food, hiked 20.1 miles, and got very wet when we were not prepared for torrential downpours. The trip successfully challenged my servant leadership, requiring lots of patience and perseverance and taught me a lot about leading people on trips. Now I just need to take my little brother on a trip like this to show him some of the world, and too show what REAL hiking is. This is all I have to share right now because at the moment I am having a tough time staying awake. So ask me about the trip, till then bye
