Lookout Point by Julia (a pilgrim)
Today was a very adventurous day: us pilgrims got up early and set out for a hike. It was inspiring. The boys took an early lead, but we all encouraged Mrs. Brindza to carry on when the climb became rough. After much effort, we finally made it to our first destination: Lookout Point. The view was truly amazing. A single tree was growing out of a crevice on a massive rock that stood out from the mountain. This gave us the strength to go on (even though we all felt out of shape). We went on a little further to the fire tower which also gave us a great view.
Afterwards we ate sandwiches and journeyed back to the ranch for a quick nap. There we went on a crazy off-trail hike to the burnt acreage where a forest fire had blazed four years ago. We
returned itchy from the weeds and EXHAUSTED…
And we had to cook dinner for fourteen people. We will be sleeping well tonight… some snoring, some not!
