To start off this journal; Anthony, Kenny and Josh just took
down an entire tree trying to hang the bear bag. Before the tree broke we
enjoyed too much spaghetti. If you asked me this morning for a prediction of
the day, it would have been much different than reality. This morning I ran
from one ridge to the other figuring out where we were. I shed a few tears, but
that might have been the fact that I had not eaten or drank anything prior we
eventually figured out where we were and Kenny took off as scout on a so called
trail. Switching off roles and taking way too many stops is a good description
of our hike today. It was at our destination that we took our extremely steep
trek down and split into our groups. I was so eager to split into groups that I
split my pants. This gave the group a laugh which lightened my heart given that
laughing has been sparse the last day and a half. My group stuck to our
original route which we received a high-five for. I have never seen josh so
excited. Our group went up the ridge instead of around it. As we were taking
our break at the top we saw papa smurf coming up over the horizon, smashing any
karens that were in his line of vision. This made us laugh and also made us
realize that our group did amazing. The boys finally got the bear bags hung and
are getting into their sleeping bags; So I am done writing.
-May we all be well, happy, and peaceful.

Today we will be venturing to the Sierra Nevada mountain Range for our second back country journey as we will be hiking through snowy and rocky terrain.
Goodbye and we will post the blog as soon as we get back!
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." — from Our National Parks (1901)
