Friday July 11th

Here is a picture of the trail (WHAT TRAIL-THE BOYS ASKED!!)





Today was the toughest day yet. It started cold and rainy and we walked 10.6 miles- Our feet killed! At least we got an Adirondack shelter because a huge thunderstorm came in at night. THe kids that didn't bring raingear were frozen when they got to Siskiwit Bay and some crawled into their sleeping bags to warm up for a bit. A bit of fire in the fire pit helped for a while, but we got rained out in about an hour. Sherilyn and I put up a sheet of Tyvek to block the wind in our shelter and hoped the boys wouldn't freeze too badly in the wind in theirs. We went to bed at 6:30 -talk about an early night.
Of course, in between thunderstorms we could hear the boys outside laughing and talking , so they weren't too frozen!
