After getting completely registered, we decided to visit the Tooth of Time Trading Company. Everyone decided to play it safe by getting souvenirs early just in case we are delayed on the last day of our Trek.
We also moved into the wall tents, which meant taking down our trail tents in the high wind. We had sand everywhere in our gear.
We were given a departure time for the trail at 1:00 PM on Day 2. Ranger Joe decided to do the gear shakedown on the morning of day 2.
Day 1 also saw us get our initial food allotment. We got food for three days. We could not wait to start eating dehydrated dinners.
At the end of the day, the crew headed off for chapel service. The group attended the protestant and catholic services. After services, we attending the opening camp fire program.
Our nerves were high as we closed the day in anticipation of hitting the trail.
