omg - what a beautiful day it was! i had a fabulous time shoeshowing up shuksan arm, near mt baker on saturday. i met my mtn'eer mentor from bellingham and treked up the gorgeous mountain with a lovely group of people. duncan was gracious enough to provide lunch and boy was i surprised by the gourmet meal consisting of thai beef salad with fresh avacado and a smoked salmon bagel with chevre, basil and green bell peppers...yum scrum!
i am so excited about this course and can't wait to partake in a bunch more treks. it's so rewarding in the end to know that you can challenge your mind and body to take you to places you've never been before. it's also awe-inspiring to be surrounded by such spectacular views and being with such wonderful people that all have the same kind of attitude and determination. there's a lot that i need to learn along the way but i'm totally enthused about it and i'm ready for the challenge.
