I looked around the semi-circle for Luke. I didn’t know what Jen and Katie wanted, but I knew that I should get over to them quickly. I found Luke and jogged over to him.

“Luke? Jen and Katie want to talk to us.”

He looked up at me in surprise but got to his feet, following me down the path.

“You needed us, Jen?”

Jen and Katie looked up from what they were doing.

“Would you guys like to eat dinner on the top of Table Rock? Talk it over with the crew and decide.”

Luke and I looked at each other and grinned. We could eat on top of the mountain? How cool was that?

“If you would like to eat up there, we need to have full baby seals before we get up there. You guys need to find a creek and fill everything. Okay?”

I nodded as Luke and I headed towards the crew. We told them what Jen and Katie had said, and as a crew we decided that it would be really cool, and we should totally do it.

A couple of the guys grabbed the water filtering gear and started poking around in the brush, trying to find the creek that was supposed to be near the clearing. We heard a shout a couple of minutes later and decided that meant they had found it.

While we were waiting for the water filtering crew, we pulled out the first aid kit to treat some blisters. There were several hot spots and a couple of new blisters, so it took us a while.

Eventually we were done. The first aid kit was put away, the water filtering kit was put away, and everyone was standing up, ready to go.

“C’mon, guys, let’s go eat dinner on top of the mountain!”
