CAPTAIN’S LOG // AUGUST THORN
TREK NOTES
Not the worst day, not the best. New group of trekkers seems reasonably solid—
Tennis girls: Emma (not Emily), Parker, Brittany. Athletic, kept pace well, no drama.
Coffee bros: Hunter, Silas, Trey. A little high on their own hype, but eager for adventure. Hunter’s camera might be a problem if it keeps slowing our pace.
Engaged couple: Joshua, Zoe. Ask Danica about PDA rules for future treks…
Sadie: A bit of a mystery—not sure why she’s here, this doesn’t seem like her thing. That said, she did better than expected today. Look for ways to help her (if she needs it) without implying that she can’t do it on her own. Her shoes are going to be an issue, and maybe her overstuffed pack, too.
Matteo: We haven’t spoken all day. It’s getting awkward.
