As they walked and walked and walked and walked . . . Part 2

So, I survived.

There were no bear attacks, dysentery or deaths along the trail. But there was snow {yes - SNOW!}, sunburned faces, a broken collarbone {from a gunny sack race} and amazing, uplifting spiritual experiences.

And while I'm not in any rush to go back out on the trail, I am so, so, so glad I went. The youth surprised and impressed me with their insights and willingness to work. I felt privileged to be there with them.

*Seriously, I am one hot Ma, right? And yes, there was no one around to take my post-trek photos, so I had to do it myself. The only thing my gigantic mirrors are good for.

You are the cutest pioneer woman I've ever seen--did you make your apron yourself? Kudos to you for finishing!
