Night 3: Wind Bound

   Again this morning when we woke up, the campers were all already up; and again, they had made more popcorn. For breakfast, was my favorite food to have on trail; toasted bagels. After breakfast, my co-guides and I decided that we should go to North Twin instead of Lily so that we can have an easy day tomorrow. With that decision made, we packed up camp and headed out.
   As we passed Lily, we told the story of the island and told our campers that we would not be staying there. As we passed Lily and turned around Falcon, the winds hit us. We struggled to make it to Porcupine and decided to sit there and wait out the winds.
   As we were waiting for the winds to die down we heard a clap of thunder, and again had to change our plans. Instead of going to North Twin tonight, we decided to stay at Porcupine. When we decided to start dinner, it began to rain and we were not able to cook dinner. We all went into our tents and ate Bay Bread. The guides read more Grimm's fairytales and the campers apparently were playing a game called Worm Wrestling. 
   Eventually, the rain stopped, close to sunset, and we were able to cook dinner just before bed.
