Priest Group High Adventure.
6-18-2018.
Most of the Priests could not attend the full week. Enoch and Caleb accompanied me up the mountain Monday and the rest of the group joined us Wednesday.
It was an incredible outdoor adventure among the mountains and "pigmy bears" (Woodchucks). Watching this video really brings it back for me. I preferred to keep much of the film without music and even feel like I would have preferred no music at all. I felt really close to nature and... Bears! Didn't see any but we heard enough stories to know it wouldn't be a huge surprise to run into one.Snow banks barricaded the trail when we got higher so we had to bush-whack our way up. As a result, very few people were up this high so early in the year and I think that intensified the incredible feeling of isolation.
