Days 17 - 19: We made the right decision to come down as the weather continues to be miserable. We spend our time sleeping, reading, drinking, and eating while there is continuous rain on the tent. When there is a brief window of sunshine everyone is out enjoying it, but those don’t last. To break the boredom there is a big joint dumpling making activity to prepare dinner. Spending days in the sleeping bag is getting old and everyone is getting antsy to start going up again.
