This is a unique book and fascinating story, where seven developmentally challenged adults go camping in the wilds in National Parks. The story is seen through the eyes of Dave, who somewhat volunteers to go along on the insane 10-day trip, and soon discovers he is the challenged one from his corporate world. He has little patience for anybody, including himself, and consistently thinks about losing Ray in the woods. Other than Dave, and Rachel the leader, the seven adults are aliens when it comes to camping, and learning how to get along with nature and each other and be exposed outside of their protected institutions. It is very entertaining and a joy to read for anyone who wants an escape from their lives, to be exposed to those with disabled minds and bodies, and with many side-splitting laughs. It slowly draws you into the characters and leaves you craving more.
