Reflection/Evaluation
We did have a little problem with Laurie’s pen when it ran out of ink. Actually I think it was because it was so cold that it failed to function. Her pencil that she had brought in case of failure with the pen broke off on the tip. So, being the resourceful person that she was, she got out her handy dandy jackknife and pared down the end of the pencil until the lead was exposed. Because it was such a crowded trail and the people were coming one after another on this very busy trail, it was difficult to keep track with the broken tip, but we perservered! We had a lovely dinner at Fargher Lakehouse restaurant on the way back.
