The next morning we hiked out to meet the kids.

That evening we collected some wood and built a fire in the pit. We then hike about a third of a mile into the darkness to observe the stars. The boys decided we should head back to the bunkhouse when they heard the coyotes start to sing.

We read in the Logbook that if we climbed the hill behind the bunkhouse we would observe some great views. Well, the hill is covered with trees so the view is not that great but we did do some rock climbing.

We took one last group picture at the bunkhouse before departing.

Hopefully this recent storm is adding snow to our parched mountains. We really need precipitation.
Thanks for reading our report.
