Some students return, others able to stay out

I just got back from visiting the Lincoln Woods group. They are doing well but a few students needed to come back to campus due to medical concerns. Here is the group when we met on the trail.

Their spirits were good. Jeff let me know he was having a great time and was thrilled about the summits they had crossed yesterday.

It was sad to bring the three girls out, but I'm glad that we did. They each had medical concerns that we needed to have looked at before they became more significant issues.

On the drive back we stopped and got out to take this picture of the peak they had climbed yesterday. Mt. Flume is the pointed one just above Stephanie. Some clouds were coming in as we were heading back to campus but the day was mostly sunny and warm.

To hear them talk on the ride home they are proud and relieved to be getting the care they need to stay healthy. I'd like to tell them that they did a great job and they should be proud of what they achieved!

During the day I also heard from the Zealand Group and although they modified their route to avoid some snow they are doing well. They had a student with a twisted knee yesterday that they have rested and treated and don't need any assistance. Nice job!

The Wilderness Trail group had an exciting night last night in a sudden blizzard and retreated today to a campground to wisely get some rest and warm up. I'm planning on visiting them tonight to bring them some dry sleeping bags.
