First
Impressions
what
is wilderness?
wilderness is a place away from the city and has a natural
surrounding. it doesn't need help by a human to live freely.
are
you in wilderness now?
[yosemite
valley]:
no, i don't believe we're in wilderness because we're still
surrounded by cars, electricity, and other technical things.
Goals
and Expectations
A
goal I
could set for myself...[to] enjoy being away from all the
stress of the city. I.E. work/schedule, school/homework.
Something I expect from the trip [is] to enjoy myself, try
and cultivate everything that I come across just to make
it fun for me.
My
Biggest Challenge
A
challenge
for me had to be the strenous hike up. The positive part
about it is [that] it's a great physical challenge. It works
at your thighs. etc/ I know when I go back home I [will]
feel much better about myself.

I
want to remember...
this
week. I'd
like to remember the people who went on this trip with me.
I'd also like to remember Curry Village: the food, the hikes,
the cold cabins. I want to remember the hike over to Hite's
Cove, how long it took. I also want to remember the 'booger
river' because we all [got across] the first time. Last
year when we played it, it took more than a couple of tries.
All the girl talk we shared, all the drama that was brought
out here. Steven's crazy self, always wanting to explore.
Man, I still can't believe that we're hiking back to the
trailhead tomorrow. How fast did this week end. Tomorrow...yumm,
FOOD. Home, "YES".
