Highlights:

7:30 wake-up, 8:00 morning circle, breakfast of granola and apples.

We take inventory of the food and split it up among everyone, grouping by meal and recording who has what.  Jeff goes through group gear, and how to put up/take down group tarps (don't forget the pigtails - craftmanship!).  Lesson from Matt on how to pack a backpack.  Adjustment of packs and much groaning about putting them on.  Group stretch session and then we pile into the van to get to the Bridge Creek trailhead.  Tiger roar with Dan and we are off.  Lunch on the trail: bickies, tuna, and PB&J.  Autobiography from Matt.  Hike 1.1 miles to campsite by Copper Creek.  Lessons on how to use the camp stove and how to poop in the woods.  Random games while waiting for dinner. Dinner: spaghetti with green peppers and tofu/chicken.  Autobiography from Jody.  Evening circle and sleep.

Comments from Jody (scribe): "Yummy GORP!!  Weather is GREAT!  Packs are HEAVY!  Dinner was excellent.  Thanks to Zoey for being a great leader!"
