-title: Survival Journal - Week 2
----
-
-_This week was called Group Expedition Week. It
-should have been rather straightforward but getting lost in the desert
-complicated everything. To this day, I still don't know where we were._
-
-## Sunday, July 29
-We held priesthood meeting at 8am Sunday morning and
-Sacrament Meeting right after that. For the Sacrament we used ash cakes
-and canteens. Both meetings were very special. We spent the afternoon
-carving spoons and recuperating from Impact. That evening we had a
-fireside with singing and guitars. It was all very pleasant and made us
-forget about our previous troubles and suffering.
-
-## Monday-Tuesday, July 30-31
-This week is called group expedition week. Each day a
-leader is chosen by the group to lead them. We divided into one boys
-group and two girls groups. The student leader for the day is given a
-map and told where to go. The staff leaders will hike along with us, but
-they will offer no help after we start.
-
-As leader for Monday, we chose Mark. After breaking camp at about 8 am,
-our first big obstacle was to find a way out of Big Springs Canyon. We
-were very anxious to get a good head-start on the girls groups so we
-could beat them to Beaver Wash on Wednesday. This is where the three
-groups were to come together again. The boys group claimed they would be
-there a whole day ahead of the girls.
-
-After an hour of searching, we finally decided to try ascending a very
-steep cliff. It scared me to death to climb that thing. Several times my
-handholds gave away and sent rocks showering down the canyon. It was a
-miracle no one was hurt on the way up. We gave thanks to the Lord when
-we arrived at the top.
-
-We spent until about 1:30 pm walking on dirt roads. Our progress was
-extremely fast and our confidence of beating the girls rose pretty high.
-
-At 1:30 we needed water pretty badly, so we decided to look for Outlaw
-Springs. Lynn and I were sent out to scout while the rest of the group
-stayed back. Ted later joined us with the map. We were quite sure we had
-found the way to the springs, but we were very thirsty, so we stopped a
-few minutes at a little seep we had stumbled onto. Then Lynn went back
-to bring the rest of the group.
-
-Ted and I had waited for an awfully long time when Lynn came back to
-tell us that the rest of the group was gone. We decided that they must
-have become impatient and went the long way around rather than wait for
-us to find the shorter way down a steep drop-off.
-
-We thought we could meet them at the springs so we forged ahead. We
-didn't see them where we thought the spring was, so we pushed on to Mule
-Seep. Our intended campsite was on Han's Flat Road just above the seep.
-We felt sure we would meet them at the seep, so we waited there for 2
-hours. It was getting dark, so we headed for the road. We came out at a
-ranger station to find that we were 5 miles off course. When we finally
-got to the campsite it was quite dark and no one was there. I was about
-to die of thirst when a guy from the ranger station rode up on his
-motorcycle and showed us where some rain pots were. I was down in the
-valley where the water was when I decided to go to the edge of the
-overhang and give a big shout. 200 feet below was what we thought was
-Mule Seep and I thought maybe the others of our group mighty be there by
-now. I yelled once and got no answer. I heard echoes all through the
-valley and felt that if the others were near, they would have heard it.
-I didn't yell again and was walking back when I heard an answer. Our
-leaders, Butch and Sundance, were over on a far ridge. We yelled and
-made sparks from our flint and steel until we located each other. When
-we got together it was a joyful reunion indeed.
-
-We walked back to the road and set up camp for the five of us. Then we
-sat down to discuss what had happened. Apparently, the rest of the group
-had thought they were supposed to take the long way to the springs when
-we scouts failed to return promptly. When we didn't show up at the
-Springs, they just stayed there the rest of the day while the leaders
-looked for us. Sundance told me that he and Butch had given up and were
-kneeling in prayer when they heard my call. He said he just started to
-cry and finished the prayer before calling back.
-
-The whole incident caused the boys group to lose about 24 hours of time.
-We started hiking again after the main group rejoined us on Han's Flat
-Road at about 2 pm Tuesday afternoon. Since we were late, we hiked until
-1 am in the morning to reach Granary Springs. The hiking was all on
-roads, so the way was easy to find, but it was a real test of endurance.
-I had blisters on both feet and a frayed Achilles tendon on my right
-heel. We often called upon the Lord for strength.
-
-## Wednesday, August 1
-Wednesday I was chosen group leader. This was the day we were to hike
-through Robber's Roost Canyon. We started to work better as a group and
-had no major problems finding the route. The canyon was really a
-challenge. It was my job to go first and decide whether or not to use
-ropes. On one occasion I ended up sliding down a 20-foot drop headfirst.
-I decided we had better use ropes for the rest of the group. We camped
-in the canyon at dark that night and I tasted some porcupine that GI Joe
-(Bruce) had killed.
-
-## Thursday-Friday, August 2-3
-Thursday we were very anxious to get to Beaver Wash ahead of the girls
-groups, so we could go swimming. We came out of Robber's Roost to the
-Dirty Devil River. We crossed the river and followed it toward Angel
-Cove Springs. Just as we were rounding the last bend toward the springs,
-we looked back to see Judy's girls group only a quarter mile behind. It
-was a real blow to our ego, and we felt sure that the girls would give
-us a little ribbing because we hadn't beat them to the wash by a whole
-day as we said we would.
-
-As we left Angel Cove our staff leaders stayed back to persuade the
-girls group to stay at Angel Cove long enough to allow the boys to swim
-a while at Beaver Wash. We still had several hours of hiking to do on
-our own before we arrived at the pool. Contentions soon arose and the
-spirit of cooperation and brotherhood soon left us. Finally, we just
-stopped in Beaver Canyon to talk it out. We decided that it
-
-was our lack of cooperation and unwillingness to fully respect and
-follow our group leaders that had gotten us so far behind. It was a real
-lesson in humility to realize that by working together the girls group
-had performed better than we had. When we started hiking again, we made
-much better progress and enjoyed a much-needed cool swim at the wash.
-
-The girls group led by Judy came in that evening and the last girls
-group came in Friday morning. The girls took their turn swimming, and we
-broke camp and left about noon Friday. It took us the entire afternoon
-to hike to our water drop at the edge of the Burr Desert. After our
-evening meal we decided to cross the nine-mile desert at night. It was
-already dark, and many were nearly exhausted. I knew it would be another
-test of endurance and will. We had a particularly weak girl in my
-family, Janet, for whom we had already had to carry her pack that
-afternoon. We had only gone a few miles when we had to help her along by
-putting her arms around the neck of a person on each side of her. I
-don't know why the bigger ones are usually the weaker ones, but Janet
-was a big girl. The night seemed to drag on forever and for many it
-seemed like a nightmare. We sang songs to keep our spirits up and pass
-the time faster. Finally, we arrived at an irrigation ditch on a ranch
-at about 2:30 am. We all dropped in our tracks after a prayer of thanks.
-We had prayed for strength on the trail many times too.
-
-## Saturday, August 4
-Saturday, we arose and hiked the remaining 4 miles to base camp without
-breakfast. After eating and setting up camp we rested through the middle
-of the day. That afternoon we had a meeting to organize new families and
-stress the importance of life, before we slaughtered our sheep. I was
-again privileged to be a father and our family's assignment was to skin
-the ewe. It was a messy job, but we got it done. The meat was a real
-treat after our bland diets of oatmeal and ash cakes that week. We
-jerkied 1/3 of it and divided the rest among the 4 family groups.
