Week #1 reflection

Today's date: May 14th Entry time: 8:00 pm  All hours: 19H 50M  As our first week of project period comes to a close Romy and I feel that we have accomplished a lot. For the first two days Libby was also assisting us in our preparation, then when she left town Romy and I finished checking things off our list. We bought and packed all of our food for the trip, built our own first aid kit, waterproofed our tent, and planned a whole new route. Each day we dedicated ourselves to a different task and somehow managed to pick up another piece of gear that we needed each day. It wasn't always a blast, but we tried to make each day as productive and entertaining as possible. Day 1 On our first day Romy and I packed all of our gear into my car and drove over to Libby's house. When there we combined all of our gear and took inventory of what we had and did not. I we also created a meal plan based off of the foods that we had that were light enough touring with us. Then we headed over ...

Day #10: Long day

Today's date: May 19th Entry time: 10:00 am  Work hours: 12:00 am - 12:00 am Today’s hours: 24H  All hours: 110H 20M On our 10th day of senior project we packed up and left camp early, around 7:30 am, to get an early start to our longest day yet. We started off by completing the descent of Mt Jim that we started yesterday to get to the shelter we had stayed at. From the small amount we had done the day before, we knew it would be steep and snowy, but nothing could have persuaded us for the next two hours.  The entire descent we were slipping and sliding on ice and snow that stuck to the rocky riverbed path we chose. After arriving at the base safe and uninjured aside from a few bumps and bruises we crossed a highway and started the next leg of our journey, climbing Mt Wolf. Mt Wolf was the hardest part of our whole trip with no contest; it took us an extremely long time to conquer this portion and by the time all of us had lost all of our mural. We made it to our destinat...

Day #12: Final day of the project

Today's date: May 23rd Entry time: 10:00 am  Work hours: 11:00 am - 2:00 pm Today’s hours: 3H  All hours: 116H 20M Since there was not much left to do, today was an easy one. I still had a few more pieces of gear that needed to be cleaned and put away so that is what I spent the majority of my time doing. The rest of the time was spent planning out a bit of the presentation we will peasant on our trip. I learned so many things from Romy and Libby while we were out, not only about hiking and camping but about life. Not everything is going to go as planned but that does not mean that you have failed, it just means you have the chance to try something new. This experience has taught me to appreciate the moments that you have and not to dwell too much in the past or the future. I hope that I can again have an experience such as this where I can learn to be the best version of me.
