OMG...written like a scary movie...and I know 2 things..1. Never go on a "day" hike or camping trip with you...and 2. Never go on a "day" trip or camping trip with you! I was hooked with the adventure but drowning has always been my biggest fear...so poor Nikki hit home with me! But you saved the day again!! Well done sir! I say this with the deepest admiration for all you've accomplished and what still awaits you.

This was amazing! 100% couldn't agree more with the sentiment that I couldn't read the story fast enough. Left me wanting more --- would love to hear from those 'kids' on their perspective & how it impacted them. So many layers of awareness and perseverance in this -- very transferable to so many things in life.

As the mother of the author and leader of this little band of adventurers, I thank you for waiting 30 years to share this story with me!! I lived every step, climb, swim of it first in excitement and then in a mother’s fear🤣🤣 Glad you all are still safe but I’m now even more white haired🤣🤣
