Talk:High Adventure 1990s/@comment-26273181-20150403203757

Addison Wilson IV here. I did the 1992 Colorado Hiking Trip. I recall climbing Stewart's Peak. I recall Logan Sibela dropping his sleeping bag down Stewart's peak by accident. I recall Dr. Simmon being airlifted out that night. ACTUALLY HE WASN'T, SON, BUT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I REMEMBER TED AND I WERE BRINGING UP THE REAR OF THE GROUP ON THAT "DOUBLE-SADDLE" DAY, AND TED SAYING "ADDISON, STAY WITH ME, AND ME THINKING, IF HE IS COUNTING ON ME,  HE AND i ARE BOTH IN REAL TROUBLE! On the bus ride up to Colorado I threw up something like 20 times.  It turns out my Doctor had WAY over-prescribed my altitude sickness medicine.  It was awefull!  I think 'Rudy' our 70ish year old outfitter climbed some huge tree just to impress the kids.HE ALSO TOLD US GREAT STORIES ABOUT HIS ASSAULT ON IMO GIMA.

I did the Canada Canoeing trip in summer 1994. Dick Houge was the old veteran who gave us all the advise. We all got the 50-miler award. We learned to throw knives for the entire trip. AND ADD IV AND I (iii) STILL THROW SOME. ANY TAKERS?We  tented with the Peelers. There were two treks, the Vandiver's were on the other treck. Our 'Interpreter' was named Pete. Sitting in the middle of the canoe was called 'riding trash'. The lazier scouts (some from different troops) didn't carry much on portages, which were measured in 'rods'.

We did a 'low adventure' Arkansas fishing trip on the White River in summer ?1995. I recall we had steaks every night for dinner. We caught plenty of fish. Andrew Chang went several days without catching one, and the guide took him out personally one day to catch something like 40 fish. The end of the trip we did a rafting trip... which really picked things up. I think some of the rafting was 'almost rated a 4' on a 5 scale, but most was rated a 3 at worst.
