Pittsburgh MCG - Brian - Day 4

IN THE YEAR 2013,

Today was Bunsen day.  I stood at the beginning of the trail, staring at the mountain’s peak.  The only thought running through my head: I WILL do this!  Then we embarked on the most strenuous hike of this trip.


The trail starts gradual, and then turns into a steep zigzag up the side of the mountain.  As we were climbing I wondered if people ever climbed/hiked straight up the mountain rather than taking the trail.  It’s what I would have done, and I probably would have made it to the peak faster. But, we inevitably made it to the top.  The feeling of accomplishment was exhilarating.  We ate lunch, and exchanged hugs, high-fives, and handshakes.

Then we descended, and looked out at Yellowstone from great heights one last time.  We got to the bus, and Michelle gave us the news that we were 30 minutes faster than a previous group.  We got into the bus, and I passed out.  In theory the bison chili will be good, and my chili success rate will be 2.
