Hiking and Camping The forty pound packs were soon presenting
a challenge, often remedied by the "massage train" on the hiking
breaks. Another diversion was swimming in the very cold river, which for one
involved being dunked in the water (by his choice!). Journaling was an important
part of the trip, a time to reflect on their experiences. Cooking and eating
were also memorable times, though the twisted ankle near the end was the low
point.
