I'm gonna give props to ANYONE who takes parties of youths out into the woods nowadays. So many things that can happen and so much liability you take on. And I deal with high school kids, thirteen year olds are a whole 'nother order of magnitude.

The gist I'm getting is that this was on the scale of a freak accident, so unusually high was that flood. I feel for the bereaved family, but just as much for the adults in charge frown
