The hike was slow today. I've been thinking a lot lately. Today gave me even more time as we trudged though the rain. What am I supposed to do about Lynn? She's obviously not having a good time but she's not really talking much. Maybe tomorrow's hike to the peak will fix things? I really hope so. Richard and Marie are having a great time out here and Lynn and I are just having a miserable time. What are we missing? Isn't this supposed to be exciting...it's nature!
