Just last week another person asked me "Why do you carry a 45 pound backpack loaded with tent, sleeping bag, food, clothes, and supplies for a week up and down mountains to sleep outdoors?" As a master of the quick retort, I am always at a loss for a short answer. In fact, when I am struggling up some of the mountains, I often ask the same question. I guess you have to be there....

...where this is home for the night.
.
.
...and your Christian friends share thoughts on God's handywork.
.
.

...and this is how you start breakfast...
.
.

...after a morning stretch....
.

...and reflection on the day ahead...
.
.
...then you DESCEND into the clouds...
No, I really can't explain it. I guess you just have to be there. And getting there involves some work.

Excellent! This answers the question better than anything I've ever come up with. It still may not communicate with those who haven't done it though. I found the photos very moving I guess because of the memories associated with them. I showed it to Becky and she was like "Oh, that's nice" but she obviously didn't have the same reaction that I did. I guess you're right, you just had to be there.
WOW, I just love these pics! However, I'm still not ready to do the overnight thing! Guess I'm just spoiled! Maybe, some day though!!!
