Day 62
October 17, 2014
I’m lounging out in a rocking chair at some sort of porch
lodge in Curry Village, Yosemite National Park. Most of the group has wandered
back to camp to score some sleep, but I’m enjoying the free time here and sort
of pretending I’m actually vacationing here rather than walking to this
campground to sneak wifi and the good showers. This is real survival right?
Well, for a 20 something year old going for a minor in outdoor leadership. For
those of you back home… sneaking wifi and scoring the good showers means
heading into a better campground, or maybe not better but more modern, to pick
up signal so that we can get onto the internet or even just find outlets to
charge up so we can knock out our homework. The scoring good showers part
relates to Yosemite mostly so far because everywhere else we’re either blessed
with decent ones or we’re casually going a week without one. The other day we
ran into an Outward Bound program while shadowing Nature Bridge outdoor
education program and they were a few days shy of completing their 60 day
course… we were on day 61 of 120. ECOEE might not be as recognized as other
programs, but we’re just as good or better, we work hard, we travel plenty, and
we’re lead by the best. We’re something else, we’re something great.
