Angel Ridge part 1

12/31 of March challenge

July 3^rd 2014, 9:40pm

The overnight was going well. The campers were sitting around the campfire, talking, laughing. Talking about how glad they were. How glad they were that they had decided to do the longer, harder hike. The hike that took them almost five hours. It was great. Never had this group gotten along so well. Then thunder, lightning, rain. More than pouring, more than any of them had ever seen in their lives.

The counsellor’s radios were going crazy. You see, they were at 12,000ft, more than 4 hours from anyone. The only way out was to hike through a meadow, an hour and a half long, straight up hill hike , in the rain, with nothing for the lightning to strike except them.

“Everybody pack up everything in your tents and we’ll come around to tell when we’re leaving.” The lead counsellor shouted.

The campers scrambled to pack up their things. They were rushed, they were scared.

“Open up” one of the counsellors said to one of the girls tents.  

They did.

“Okay guys, so although it is dangerous here it is more dangerous to walk across the meadow to meet the buses. So unpack your stuff and we’ll stay here until further notice.”

The girls nodded their heads nervously.

“So BS?” the counsellor asked.

The girls nodded again.

Once the game was in play, there was a banging on the tent.
