Woke up at 4:30 AM before the crew at 5:00 AM. It had rained during the night and the rain fly was very wet. Packed the tent away wet. Broke camp, got El Guapo ready, and hit the trail back to Pueblano. Some of the boys put El Guapo in the corral while most of the crew hurried to sign in for an early spar pole climbing spot. Got 8:00 AM. Ate breakfast while waiting. Good and fun instructions on how to spar pole climb. The whole crew successfully climbed the pole, some better than others. I got tired on the way up and really struggled to finish but did. Somehow got a bloody finger. Took lots of pictures and video. Got El Guapo ready again and hit the trail to Head of Dean. This was a very nice trail that started with a series of switchbacks. Lots of burned trees and great views. We saw Baldy for the first time on the trail. Made it pretty quickly to Head of Dean and checked in. Got a 12:30 PM slot for Challenge Events. Was given the camp site near the corral which was pretty far away. Got Challenge Events time switched to 1:00 PM. Set up camp and ate lunch. The camp site was nice but had a large slope. Started to rain. Walked to Challenge Events which got switched to Porch Games because of the weather. Best games were Green Door and Ghost which was a spelling game. Went back to camp and took a nap. Was awakened for dinner. Went to the advisors meeting and learned a lot from the other advisors. Back to camp and early to bed. Felt better hiking today as it was cooler with a nice trail.
