We did it!

After a month of poison oak, sprained ankles, guest hikers and dogs, lack-of-time-induced arguments, fear of mountain lions, and a friend who passed out on the trail (no names), we have officially completed the Bishops Challenge 2009! At times it was tough, but always it was beautiful and awe-inspiring. We would remind each other, "It's pretty up here," so we wouldn't forget to take in our surroundings. I will miss being forced to experience nature every day. God uses the hills and the ocean to bring a little perspective.
