Pittsburgh MCG - Trevor - Day 4

So today we went up Bunsen Peak. Some of us were at the bottom thinking they can’t make it. Others were determined. Still others just thought it looked fun. We started walking. A few hours later, we were ALL at the top looking at the amazing vista before us. We could see the Great Tetons to the South. They were over 2 hours away. We saw patches of trees and winding rivers and ponds stretched before us. Electric Peak gleamed in the distance.

It was beautiful.

Notice how I said we started walking. We saw the mountains. WE made it to the top. We all went in together, and a chord of three strands is not easily broken. We had fifteen strands, so I suppose we were good.

Then we descended. I didn’t want to. I would’ve been perfectly content staying up there for another 2 hours. But alas, bison chili called, and it was tasty.

Tonight is our last as a group, and I have enjoyed every second. Tomorrow I return home to my family, but I know that I now have another family.
