Today we concluded our second back country journey and most
of us can say this was our favorite part of ECOEE yet. We did some amazing
things that some of us thought we couldn't have done back in August, such as
hike up Post Peak. Getting there was a difficult journey. My group consisting
was Josh, Haley, and Anthony decided to conquer. The hike up was one of the
most difficult things I have ever done it literally took all I had. You know
some people at home would probably struggle really hard if they attempted to
climb it. But hey not even the great Paul Petolzt. After the hike up my group
needed more and that more consisted of jumping, climbing, and hoisting
ourselves from a gigantic rock to the next to reach the summit. The view from
the summit was beautiful we were able to
get a 360 degree view of the Sierra Nevada’s it was breathtaking. That soon
ended when we realized we had to get back down to our backpacks. That climb down
was the most terrifying thing I have ever done, like I said it was terrifying.
Of course my group survived the rest of our backpacking trek as did the two
other groups who like us have amazing stories to tell. Being separated was
something special. None of us will have the same stories going forward. ECOEE
si far has given me many lasting memories. The end is in the distant horizon.
No more going west for us. In the next couple days we will be watching over 5th
graders and keeping them in check. Then we will move forward to San Diego.
