I’m not 100% sure what we had for breakfast that day. (C’mon – I can’t remember two weeks worth of meals. I’m not THAT good! :D) But I think it might have been granola. That granola was amazing! There were apple bits in it, and it was so sweet and it was just amazing. πŸ™‚ I LOVED that granola.

After breakfast I grabbed my food bag and headed back to camp. I set my stuff down and went over to where Jen was sitting with the first aid kit and anyone with blisters. We decided that we were going to keep my blisters covered, and then we moved on to my ankle.

Jen had me take both of my boots off and she compared my ankles. She said my hurt ankle was swollen, so she wrapped it in the crew’s ace bandage. She also said that she would have the crew take the group gear from my pack.

She called the crew together and asked who would like to carry weight for me. She did not mention me by name, and I don’t know if anyone else knew it was me… But when Bruce and Luke said they would, I thanked them, so they knew then. I went over to my pack and found the tarp, and the repair kit. I kept the extra strings – they did not weigh much and they were kind of annoying to have in your pack, so I figured I could keep them. I brought the tarp and repair kit over to the guys, and Bruce took the tarp and Luke took the repair kit. I thanked them and went back over to my pack and repacked it a bit.

Then Katie called us all into a circle. She said we were going to play another game. She told us all to think of someone (who was in the circle) in our heads. Then when she said go, we were going to stare at that person as hard as we could. If you thought of each other, and your eyes met, you were out. And you had to remember who you had gotten out with.

It took three or four rounds, but in the end we were all paired up. I was with Jen. Then Katie announced that we were going to be playing a game called Newlyweds. We had all just gotten married!

Katie explained the game better. You had to answer questions (that she would think up) about your partner. And as she was turning to leave, she said, “And I’m thinking up the questions, so tell each other crazy things!”

I knew I was not going to be good at this. When I get tired, I can’t remember anything. Like, if someone tells me something to tell everyone else, when I go to tell everyone else (five minutes later), I can’t remember a thing I was supposed to tell them! That’s how bad it was.

So I told Jen that I would do my best, but I could not remember things. She said that was ok, we would just do our best.

Then we all put our packs on and stood together for our first group photo!

The crew, ready to leave camp!

(Jen and Katie have a better quality picture up on the NCOBS FB page. It’s larger, so you can see everyone’s faces better…)

Once we were done taking pictures with the 6 or 7 different cameras (including mine) that had been shoved at Jen when she announced that she was taking a picture, we left! We said goodbye to the ladies, (remember them from the last part?) and walked away from the sleeping area, past the kitchen, and back onto the trail, mostly ready to start again. πŸ˜€
