Story

After we did Farnsworth Canyon, most of the kids and a couple of the adults stayed at camp, while the rest of went to Goblin's Lair. Out of the people that went to Goblin's Lair, about hald of us did the canyoneering route while the other half took the hiking route, and we all met up at the Lair. Then we all hiked down the trail together.
