24 October, 2016 (Nick Walberg)

After several days in a row of nice weather, everything changed last night. Last night it started raining and snowing throughout the night. Around midnight lightning began to rattle the tent and went until after sunrise. By the time that everyone started getting up Liv had spoken with the rest of the LOW's and decided that we are leaving the mountains and heading back to the trailer. It was a necessary move to allow everyone to dry off and warm up. The girl’s sleeping area ended up being a drainage area and Emily was floating on the water in the morning. We walked our way out of the wilderness while keeping our eyes on the sky to see if another storm was going to roll in. slowly but surely we walked out to the van only to have to stay out a little longer to do a debrief of the back country. Because we hadn’t planned to be eating in the front country yet, we needed to go grocer shopping tonight and we were then treated to pizza. Even though our adventure ended early, the bright side is that we now have the time to get completely ready for our next adventure into Mexico.
