Thursday 3/24/2011We went from a beautiful 1st day to a (ahem) rough Thursday. Let's just say there was an uncharacteristically strong storm rolling through the area. We hike rain or shine at MH, so off we went. It started off well, with a little hike across the beach while raindrops pelted us like bullets in the face. I thought we'd be fine because we were chanting the song that Em and I made up at breakfast: "Precipitation from the sky, will not make us cry...who's tough? WE ARE!"
We proceeded up a 3-foot wide ridge, walking up through a mini, muddy Grand Canyon with the bullet rain PLUS 35ish mph winds. No big deal! (HA! Yeah right!) We were all scared, two chaperones had to carry a crying, panicky, pant-peeing student...but we all survived (after hiking 2 more hours in soaked hats, gloves, pants, etc.) and showed how brave and tough we truly ARE!
