Everyone that’s in the group made it. We all succeeded together and reached our goals together not as a group but as a family. It was a new challenge for us for the past 7 days in the wilderness. It was challenging to set up tenets and to do our responsibilities. But we all learned together every step in the way. Mel and Ale, our instructors on the trip, guided us through Desolation Wilderness peacefully and safely. Mel taught us how to write poetry and Ale taught us science. Now we are back at Sagehen with more learning and excitement. And I know we all will be ready to take the next new big challenge to reach our goals.
