| Outward Bound was one of the most Awsome experiences of my life! Two weeks of canueing, packing, rock climbing, and hiking, and just being with 10 of the coolest ppl I have ever met~~
I love all my Trail Mixers!!!
The coolest times were when we were all tired, sore, it was well after dark, everyone's hungry and just want the night to end, and someone cracks a joke that everyone just starts to laugh at, and we all have our chow circle and say what we are greatful for. I'm just greatful that God woke me up to another beautiful morning to see more beautiful faces. On our first hiking push day I saw the most beautiful view I have ever seen, or will ever see. High Rock, where we could see forever the most beautiful farm land ever, and the red tailed hawks soaring so high and perfectly. All I want to be is a bird that can soar as high as I want for ever and ever over Everything. My group members are the absolute best. My 2 chicas, and all the awsome chicos. Hez, Oz, and Adam, and Nick, Derrick, and Marcus. Rember finding the park after a long day of hiking and just running to the bathroom where there was SOAP and a MirroR!! Walked into the dark with Amy to find the coolest privy ever and then to be swooped up to see the stars. Layed on the pickinck table forever talking and dreaming about being in the stars. Giving massages, and seeing everyone's groggley eyes at strech circle. Rember 'scrubbing' the backpacks with Adam and Hez and laughing at everything and nothing at all. Oz's solo tarp!!! How he had everything be held up by the stick! Talking so late at night about our families and life. You will always rember re-fried beans by Oz and Hez, and Repelling down to all the people I Love So Much, and showing off sweaty muscles. hehehahaha Rember fighting with Laurel the last push day, and how even then everything was so right. Pumping water on the Patomac, and from all the little streams on the Appilatian Trail. Rember Making the map and being kept alive by Oz and his jabbing, and how that was the very first morning that he wasn't the last one out of bed. Take one or even ten for the team. Extra weight, or food, or just energy. Walking in the back with Sarahbellum. Hahahah!!
Indicate the way to my habitual abode cuz I'm fatigued and I'd like to retire. I had an alcoholic beverage 60 minutes ago and it went straight to my SARAbellum. Where ever I may perambulate, over land or sea or atmospheric pressuer you can always hear me singing this melody Indicate the way to my habitual abode.
"Hiking 4 miles in the morning with a pack in an hour with Adam" HA!!! Overcomming in rock climbing, and talking with Kristy and Sarah. Seeing the turcky buzzard when Adam was repelling. Watching the sunset, pumping water in the pitch dark with Hez and Amy. The coolaid that was way too sweet, and left pink splotches in all our cups. The cookies and the tea from the resupply team. Getting a leach in my foot. The guys throwing stuff at our tent at night. setting up the tarps over hard rocks, and snuggeling up for warmpth at night. The first night back at base and everyone sleeping just everywhere all over eachother, trying to ignore the bugs, and just enjoy the togetherness, and the sky. Graduation: Amy giving you your cirtificate, and you passing on Hez's, trying to tell everyone the total awsomeness of him.. Getting over bumps in the road about how to get the canues up safely, or making the canue line at Paw Paw. Talking about politics and religion with Nick, and eatting Hummace with everyone. The afternoon before solo, all dreding leaving eachother. Making the picture for Oz. Paddeling with him. Being the buffer. 'ewe, did you just fart?' 'Yeah, you know you like that' this whole time we've been talking.. -No, WE have not been talking: You have been the one talking" !!!! Dancing to the radio after our snack, and while scrubbing. TJizzel getting all up tight-- no this is still Filthy! Playing basketball under the street light. Sweaty Muscles! NPR! NPR! Boy gimme that. Marcus being our leader, and showing us his sweet heart. Derrick hitting rock bottom and bouncing rite back up. Writing letters to myself and everyone on solo, and singing songs. Taking a 50, taking a hundred, and the Happy Bag. Dug the shouvel. Carrying your pack, and TWO food buckets the first night down the very long road and feeling like gold. Sharing Skin So Soft. I'm going on a picknick and I'm bringing Avacado, Banannanas, ... My Lawyer's cat. ABC's My COWS! Resupply, and carrying the canues to the van, squeezing everyong in the 15 seater with the backpacks, I knew someone heard me cuz I could hear Derrick laughing. Youre so hard core. Like yeah, in your mouth. hahah Hiking 30 miles on the Appalachian Trail, Oz tripping over himself and getting a huge gash the very last day. Lonley, I'm so lonley, I have no body to call my own. Sugar pie honey bunch,,, I love you and no body else. I can't help myself.
I Love Outward Bound! Everything about it is perfect. But it's mainly who you spend it with. I had the most awsome team I could ask for. I have no idea how such a diverse group could come together so well, but we are the example of how the most increadible is so possible. I still can't even believe the circumstances that brought us all together, but whatever they are I can be so greatful that I had a part in how the end played out. Now the end is a start. I cant wait to see my group again. There is so much love. More than anything else there is so much love. That is what made our trip the best.
