i met some amazing women that weekend- 13 of them to be exact. they were definately inspiring but, originally i was a little bit intimidated -remember the two girls that rowed the atlantic ocean two summers ago alone for 45 days? they were with us -sarah & emily, two of the most driven & dedicated ladies i've ever met. you can find their story at www.americanfirerowing.com please check out their site & donate if you can- they are raising money to try again next summer!
the other girls were either college soccer players from d1 schools or played rugby- i was a little out of my element to say the least, but i'm proud to say i kept up & had a ton of fun.
so here are some pics from our trip-
in the first hour & a half of the hike you drop over 1,000 feet. that's a lot of switch backs. here's all the ladies except myself and one other. i love this picture.
you can cheat and have the donkeys carry your pack... which i will do next time -because carrying a 40 lbs pack is not easy!
just about the time you think you can't take it anymore you hear an amazing water fall near by- round a corner & this is what you see. suddenly everything stops hurting & you're speechless.
after some rock climbing this is the third waterfall-
jenn & i on our first jump- it was soo cold & refreshing.
we met up with our friends ted & sarah -whom i hiked out with.
the four frisbee-ers: sister mary hannah, sister mary megan, sarah & ted!
emily (another frisbee chica) and i shared a tent & this was our beautiful view.
