Today was our first day off since ECOEE started. After two
weeks of working and learning everyday to prepare for our expedition, we took
today to clean up and relax while getting our new tent mates. The day started
with LOW debrief which was led by Kolin and I. Overall the feedback was
positive for Cody, Jeff and Ryan. After a short break, the new LOW's briefed the
group on the upcoming week. Now that the group business was done, each tent
group was able to meet with Jeff and Ryan to discuss how it was for the first
week on the river. During the final meeting, Tommy and Emily went for a short
hike to a marsh on the other side of the river. They hiked throughout the day
and arrived back at camp at 6:30pm. By this time Jeff had had grown anxious and
worried that something had happened to the two. Kolin and Ryan went out in a
canoe to search for signs of Tommy or Emily. Coincidentally, Tommy, Emily,
Kolin, and Ryan got back to camp at the same time avoiding any future stress.
Although it was a worrisome time for some, we all learned that traveling
without letting people know where you are going puts other people in danger while
attempting a rescue. On a lighter note, all three cooking groups cooked
together for the first time and shared our best dishes with the group. Alex
caught several fish and fried them up for us and even Liv ate a piece of fish
after telling us she doesn’t eat fish.
