An Overview

Over the summer they waited... and waited... and waited.... They waited for some kind of information about this journey to Chile. Only a few of the members knew what to expect of the upcoming trip.

They had been sent an e-mail, sometime around the middle of the summer saying that there would be an information meeting on Monday, August 27th. It would be at 9am and the location, TBA.

When they arrived no one really knew what to expect... so they waited patiently for the arrival of their beloved instructor Mark Gibson. And they waited... and waited... and waited...

When he came everyone was still a little apprehensive about what to expect. They went over some basics: gear, answering questions, and a little bit more of what the trip would entail. Then they went to lunch and on the way back from Blue Iguana (the best Mexican food in town) it sounded like Mark was making plans for us to go on an adventure some where deep in the Taylor Canyon.

Later they found out that this adventure would take place 2 days later. Our instructions were this: Be at the middle school at 6:00am ready to be support for a bunch of 8th graders on a beginning of school retreat kind of thing...
