Day 60
October 14th, 2014
Well… with us reaching day 60 there were bound to be many
mixed emotions knowing that we have made it halfway through our expedition, but
something was lingering with our group and it needed to be discussed. When we
pulled into Yosemite National Park my face was glued to the window of 514. As
we were driving into the park we saw many lodgepole pines and ponderosa pines. With
many trees burnt to the ground from fires in 1992 and 2013. Many burnt and
ashes and barren land and little was left, but being in a National Park and the
national park services and nothing can be done. You can kind of say this was
our group after a activity Jeff had us do this morning. We have some how become
those burnt up trees in the park, but the difference is we can pick each other
up, be there for support and maybe just to listen and fix everything. Though we
all have hope as a group that we can move forward and continue to grow. There
is always room for improvement. Hey we have sixty day to reach our potential
and even continue growing from them. Everyday you are presented with a new
challenge and your thrown curveballs. It’s all about how you react to it, and
you can’t let it destroy you. Today I have learned a lot about what it means to
be in a group, and that it is no way similar to any sports team that I have
ever been on.
