We woke up really early to hike to Dog’s Tooth, where we planned to rock climb. We hiked all the way to the top and then lightning came, so we couldn’t rock climb. We had to return back to camp and on our way, we stopped at an alpine lake near Courtright Reservoir. The clouds were hiding the sun – so we waited until the sun came out, and then we jumped in! The water was freezing cold! Then this big cloud came over us and it started to hail. We all remember that day – it bonded us. Nature is unpredictable, but that unpredictability brought us together.

I’m in my 9th day of course. Right now I’m doing my solo and feeling a bit lonely because I miss my group. But luckily today I will get to see them. In 5 days I will have to go back to LA cause the course is about to end and I really don’t want it to end. At first when I got here, I wanted to go back home but little by little I started to love being here. In my solo, I got a beautiful view, and when I looked at it, I always wondered what I would be doing right now. Maybe just in bed doing nothing and just wasting time. But right now, I’m here, in the beautiful wilderness and nature life which I never get to see in LA.
