Mountain biking and backpacking!

So unfortunately we had a guide that had to leave. So I picked up his classes. I am more than ok with that. I picked up two periods of Mt. biking a day and a backpacking class. This is awesome! I am three times as busy and couldn't love it more!

Today in my mt. biking class we rode up an intense hill and rode up to rattlesnake where the awesome overlook is. The ride down was crazy. Unfortunately we had a few wipe outs but the kids were champions. I've never seen some kids so determined and down to get back up on the bike. It was very inspiring and good to see the drive and determination in the kids. It was very inspiring to me and made the trip worth it....even in there was a small amount of blood shed...the kid was pumped!

In backpacking I taught them how to properly pack a bag and then we learned how to make a fire and light a lantern. I'm pumped to do this because I feel that I will learn a lot as well as I take them on my learning journey with me. It will be awesome!

So the nights continue to be amazing. Yesterday was Green Night. We had games like frisbee, live music, and tye-die. We jammed and were hippies for the night. And tonight we had a group come in and perform live music. The kids are awesome and pumped for everything. Its such an inspirational place to drive not only yourself but others to be nothing but the absolute best.

p.s.- for those of you that know me know me...im surviving off of Mt. Dew. Its crazy I know!

I love and miss you all....if anybody runs across a sweet deal on a mt. bike or a camel back I'd love love love to have it go down! Miss you all!
