30-mile hike

Brandon and the Varsity Team planned a 30-mile backpacking hike for their Scout Camp this summer.  They went on the Canyon Loop Trail on the Mogollon Rim.  They were supposed to be gone from Wednesday evening until Saturday.  But they ended up coming home on Friday morning.  When they reached the cars at the halfway-point to get more water, they decided that they were all done.  Everyone was too tired, packs too heavy, some people not prepared enough, etc.  But they had fun, hiked through a bunch of canyons, cooked and ate a lot of dehydrated food, and learned a lesson on preparedness.
