leader, teaching the followers to be
leaders and the leaders to be fol-
lowers.
Laced in with the backpacking and
adventure were courses in ecology
The long outing ended in a two-day
solo in which the boys were given one
packet of food, a sleeping bag and a
poncho.
Some chose to fast.
Dave Long, 1 7, of Arkansas, spent
his two days in solitude without food
or water. "All over, you just listen to
television and radio and you hear peo-
ple are starving," he said. "I've always
had food and the finest parents in the
world. I wanted to know what it was
like to be hungry. I just wanted to know
what these people feel like when
they're hungry. Now, I know."
And there were moments of meeting
challenges they didn't know they
could handle.
Sixty-foot Steamboat Rock was one
of the biggest challenges. After being
given some practice on smaller rocks,
the young men were given the option
of going off Steamboat, a crag so
rough that only experienced people
rappel off it. Ninety-five per cent of
the boys went over.
"When I stepped over, I felt like my
life was in danger," said Clinton
Inouye of Hawaii. "I stepped over and I
couldn't do anything. I was kind of in
shock or something. I came back up.
"Then they told me not everyone
could do it and that it was OK. All at
once I got this surge of courage. Half-
way down, I felt like I was on top of the
world. I had everything under control.
Physically, I'm stronger. Mentally, I've
learned to pull myself together again
after I sort of broke down."
Army Ranger Brad Hillman summed
up the challenge of Steamboat Rock:
"These guys came up there just
quaking," he said, "The look before
they went over Steamboat and the
look afterward was a growth of about
three or four years."
And that, according to program de-
signer John Larson, is part of what
Lifeline is all about.
"These people have been out there
trying to solve problems for 21 days,"
he said. "I think that is the pocket we
should be in. Each person has a line
he's never gone over before. The
program provides him with that, and
then he can go on."
Larson and Program Executive Jim
Bourque, who tailored Lifeline to fit
Philmont and then supervised it were
both impressed with its reception and
