Our son David Lindblad and probably George Hawley were on the trip that was led by the Bergdalls and a couple other folks. They portaged a lot of canoes and Dave felt a sense of accomplishment. I think they had one night alone as part of the experience. We left on a family trip right after he finished and I don't remember how long their trip was. Bergdalls probably do. <div><br><div>We are living in Cincinnati OH and enjoying watching Dave's second daughter play varsity soccer as a freshman along with her cousin the goalie.
