Garibaldi:)

As we walked up the mountain i could feel the fresh air the crisp, clean brilliant air:) The senseation of the trees and the whistles of the birds. "Garibaldi here we come" everyone chanted. Everyone full of excitement hiked up the steep hills and up that mountain. I was in Proznicks group hiking up which was sweet! It took us about 5 hours to go up those crazy switch backs and then we were finally there, the beautiful breath taking GARIBALDI. The land and the water was unbelievable in fact it was beautiful unlike anything we had ever seen before. Still in shock Sarah, Naomi and me set up our tents which was quite the challenge. Luckly once we were finished the weather changed to rain which then in 3 hours turned to 2 feet of snow..which sucked and half way through the night out tent colapsed.. which meant we had to sleep in shelter number 2. At first we hated the fact we had to spend the night with 8 other girls and a possiblity of sleeping with rats! But in the end we had such a great sleep compared to the others in tents MUHAHAH. The cooking situation ended up being successful and me and Alex Margetson were cooking buddies:) The food i brought up was pretty desent. Day 2 ended up being a drag though..we were all supose to go hiking but since we were snowed in it would be imposible:( instead we ended up going to classes in all 4 shelters which wasnt had but was a big bummer. To end the day off all the guys and some girls all joined in, in a huge snowball fight.. HAHA i hid behind larry the whole time:). Everyone had a bedtime of 9 and unfortunatly it was our last night:(We all had to be up by 7 30 a.m. and packed fed and ready for our hike home by 10 30 a.m. We left the sight at 11 a.m. so Stead wasnt to pleased but the hike home was so fun. Brayden Goodman and I sungs songs such as If i could walk 500 miles, The Lion Kings theme song and random funny R&B songs all the way back down the mountain. Hiking down took about 2 hours for us all to get down and oh by what a memory.. I was sad on the drive home because i had such an awsome time but i was also releived to be back at home with my family. Im so stoked for what EDGE 09 has in store for me and im ready for the narly events..STOLEN FROM WILSON:) Thank you Twemlow, Proznick, Stead and Wilson.
