Summary
Crystal and then Nanci awaken early and can't return to sleep. Crystal's thoughts had been on Noah and her own loneliness whereas Nanci wanted her sister's opinion on how she's been doing. Nanci talks of her determination to lead a better life and Crystal fully supports her goals.
Ben and Joy thank Giselle for her advice, although they confess they might have overdone it.
The run through the Icebox is chilly and wet. Lunch is at Kanab Creek with a nice short hike while Al and Karin continue on to grab a good spot for the night. All too quickly everybody has arrived at the campsite.
Randy and Nicole find some privacy and do a bit of skinny dipping and nude photography. They're happy to finally get some time by themselves.
Most everyone has lost track of time, but Crystal reminds them it's a Sunday evening and asks Noah for a few words at the campfire. Preach talks about marriage, God's will and faith. "In a place like this where the evidence of God is all around us, perhaps we can hear His voice a little clearer."
