       We ended up splitting into to groups with me, Erica, Danielle, Anne, Jim (of barking spider notoriety) in the front group. We were later, joined by Mike near the end of the hike. Phelecia was the anchor that dragged down aft half of the ship with Brenda and Lisa unable to make a socially graceful exit and likely having to listen to her constant droning on and on about flatulence and bug-porn and so on. ;-) Just kidding... great to have you back to pick on, p-Kitty.. .and thanks for organizing. 
    •  I had a great time! Definitely definitely super hot, but well worth it. 
    •  Thanks to Jim-the-Pope's-best-friend for leading! Thanks to Erica, Danielle, Brenda, Anne, Lisa, and Jim "Blossom" for participating!
