Rescue Mission at The Edge

Here we are starting off carrying Jordyn in the gurney. I think we started off pretty good!
A little later in the mission...we're trying to decide how to get the blind people over and still carry Jordyn.Someone's (Either James or Alex, I'm not sure which) great idea to put the blanket under the gurney so technically, the gurney wasn't touching the telephone pole. Great idea guys!
At the end, after running out of time. Even if we did run out of time, we still learned a lot about working as a team! If we ever go back, we know what we need to do!

The Guys Low Ropes at The EDGE

The guys on the Skateboard. Poor blind Charlie probably didn't know what in the world was going on!
We're finished!!! The guys after finishing Mountain Tops.
Sam crowd surfing in the Spider Web challenge. Both guys and girls did great on this one!
Josh doing the Trust Fall. Way to go guys...you caught the old guy! I think this is the one the girls were really bummed they didn't get to do!
The guys doing the puzzle game. Josh is looking a little crazy but hey, he was blindfolded; he couldn't help it!

Check back for some pictures from the Rescue Mission!

The Girls Low Ropes at The EDGE

Our first big challenge was Mountain Tops. After spending lots of time on this, we finally made it!!
Our next event was Aqua Shoes. This one was fun...unless of course you were blindfolded and had to turn around!
I think this was the hardest event for the girls! But our leaders kept telling us that eight Army guys did it, so we could definitely do it! We finally made it after two hints and lots of time.
We did the Skateboard and we decided to take a different approach than the boys. We decided to climb over each other after watching the boys struggle on this one!
This one took us the longest and was the most strenuous! We were all shaking and had sweat dripping down us by the end of it!

I know the girls group was very successful in breaking down barriers and really becoming a team! Good job girls!
