Sunday, July 30th - it was a cool
frosty morning, Left Nahlin at noon
for Nakina. Aaain the map was wrong
and we took the wrong trail. After
spending 7 hours going back and forth
looking for the trail, we ended up camp-
ing a half a mile from where we started,
The kids and | set up camp while Bill
and Tony took off to find the trail.
When they left | told them not to come
back without an insulator to prove they
had. Both arrived back at camp at
10 pm with the insulator. Everyone was
tired and disappointed as we only had

As it was still early everyone did

their laundry and cleaned up. Tracy and
Rick picked rhubarb and Rick and | made
a big pot of rhubarb jam. Tracy and Tony
made a big batch of bannock. Later Rick
finally washed his hair due to extreme
pressure and threatening jestures. I'm

cool and frosty again. Left camp at
1 pm. Ricky rode Missy, who did really
well for her first full day being ridden,
The only problem Rick had was she didn't
neck reian too well and would sometimes
take off where she wanted to go instead
of where he did. Lobo had quite a bad
saddle sore so we let her run free,

\le started out on the right trail but
missed the turnoff point and ended up
at Gun Lake on the old Teslin Trail be-

found the junction. The trail went thro-

hadn't gone very far when Bill noticed
that Lobo was missing. He told us to ao
