"Hiking"

I started teaching with the High School teachers in my free time and one day I showed up at the school and they told me I needed to go home and change. I asked what was wrong with my clothes, they told me they would not be appropriate for hiking. Admitting they were right I went home and changed.


The hiking expedition was part of the students' Boy Scout education. As they hiked up the mountain there were stations they stopped and learned at.





The mountain to be hiked...At this point they stopped me and asked if I would be able to hike it to the top. I said sure. Then another person asked me again. Starting to worry I asked how far it was up the mountain. 3 km. Yeah no problem. They continued to ask me over and over. I started to worry it was going to be hard.




At the bottom of the mountain we stopped to wait....for our ride. Yeah we were taking a tractor up the mountain. I think they were just trying to scare me with all the questioning. Those tricksters.








The ride up was beautiful and I decided I would walk down the mountain.













A view from the top! Everything looks so small and smokey. I want to go back when everything is green.


After I made it back down the mountain I discovered there were monkeys
in the trees!
