    Well done... I know about that introversion that always feels like were the odd ones out, so I get how the day of small talk to a bunch of strangers (nice as they are) was far more exhausting than the multiday build, not to mention, at times you had all eyes on YOU, during the rides, which can be anxiety inducing, but you n your savior buddies pulled it off!. What a cool experience, now back to the woods huh!
