Write Up:

Another great day in the mountains in great company. Chelsea did her first hike with the AOC. She is a real trooper, having worked at many of the major parks, wrestled grizzlies, you name it, and we are happy she has found us. Poor Jean kept up a fast pace in a futile effort to run away from the itchiness of a bad case of chigger bites up and down both legs and thick around the ankles. Aaron signed up at the last minute and was pressed into service as co-leader, which we all appreciated, since he ran ahead and cleared away the cobwebs and rattle snakes. But don't get him started on his problems with his eyelashes. On the way in we came across an extraordinary bit of trail magic: a third of a bottle of bourbon. We were tempted but promised ourselves a swig on the way back; by then of course it had disappeared. No matter, we had an excellent dinner at the Mexican restaurant in Cleveland.
