Pittsburgh MCG - Brian - Day 1

A long time ago in a state far, far away, I arrived in Bozeman, Montana.  The plane rides were interesting, and I rediscovered the sensation of ear pressure changes.  Most of the time was spent napping.  But when we finally touched down, and I stepped outside, the air was surprisingly comfortable and has continued that tradition so far.

The bus ride was long, but many photos were taken, and we finally arrived at the Overlook.  We were briefed, and then we explored.  Two friends and I walked left from the Overlook and looked onto an unimaginably beautiful landscape. Then we decided to seek other fortunes, and we climbed an intriguingly shaped rock formation.  Coming down from that I was stabbed by a cactus, and then stepped on another.  My shoes probably don’t like me very much right now. Oh well…

Afterwards we participated in a team building exercise, and I was blinded by its difficulties (Ha! jokes…) but my team persevered and we finished the challenge as better people than before.  Then there was awesome dinner and now it is now.  I am certain that we will all be different people when we return home.
