Camp Merrill Benson Training Session
May 26, 2002

Team High Profile in Waukarusa River

Melaine AscendingOver the Memorial Day weekend, Team High Profile retreated to Camp Merrill Benson, in Mt. Carroll, Illinois, to focus on training.

Frances on Rappel Over a 7 hour period, the Team rode 30 miles on the steep country roads of Carroll County, trail ran the north trail system at Mississippi Palisades State Park for 7 miles, rappelled an 80' cliff, coasteered down the rain swollen, Waukarusa River for 2 miles, and ascended up an 80' limestone cliff. 

The day provided weather extremes from cold rain to warm sunshine.  Sitting around the campfire afterwards with teammates and support crew members was enjoyed by all.
