the weather was horrific. the wind burned our faces, our clothes were soaked, the rain stung and tages and i headed back to the car. but mom was determined to explore Grimspound.

Navigator.
I laughed, and Laughed, and LAUGHED at Tages driving, and Emily being the navigator. if you're anything like me and Brad, we fight like crazy when in an unfamiliar place.
