On Thursday September 11th our group was formed. As the cluster of us started talking, still a little and tentative from first impressions, we realized we had no idea what we wanted to do for our adventure. We came up with several great ideas and started to get to know each other a little better.
the Browne Center at the University Of New Hampshire. It was raining and cold. I was excited and nervous getting on the bus. I know several shared my emotions and others had the complete opposite, tired and upset that they had to leave the warm dry bed of theirs. We Started out with some low rope problems. Everyone seemed a wee bit tentative and skeptical of what was going on.
Slowly everyone stepped up and the problem was solved. It was really cool to see the whole class working together to solve a single problem even as simple as a low ropes element. People started cheering up and having more fun regardless of the wet and cold.
After lunch we moved to high ropes elements. We split into our adventure groups. We all had to work together to finish these problems with an added element of being 20-40 feet in the air. Our group seemed to click and got everything done
with every single person. It was a neat thing to experience the bonding of a group of people.

All though we still might not know what we are doing we have taken one big step in preparation. We trust our teammates and have faith that we are all going to do what needs to get done to make this a successful adventure.
till next time
