Trip: "Polar to Solar" Outdoor Ed, Spring 2014
Location: Mount Sopris and Moonwash Gulch, UT
Teachers: Travis Moore and Andre Wille
Medium: Creative Journaling
Feel the sun against your face
And the sand beneath your feet
But recall the frigid place
With all the Mountain House you can eat
As you scamper over rocks
And explore these remote lands
Remember the frozen pairs of socks
And the warm gloves on your hands
Rub the sunburn on your nose
And watch the stars in bed
Feel the numbness of your toes
And keep going when they're red
Breathe in the warm, dry desert air
And hear the deafening silence
The gusts of wind rushing through your hair
And know the world to be timeless
Confront the wrath of nature
With power, strength, and brawn
Looking into the eyes of danger
Just saying 'bring it on.'
