The Trip,
First I want to say that I am very sad  I had my camera all the way to the end and somehow it never made it in the car. I think if fell off my pack when it was being loaded in the car. It is a Kodak one touch, small and in a small black case. I am hoping that if someone finds it at trail head and looks at some of the pictures they will see Laura and turn it in to somewhere in Bishop. I had some great picture on there that I would hate to loose. So this is a call for help on the camera. CRYING!!!
I wish that I did have some pictures to share but maybe that will come later. Here is my take on the trip!
To me this trip was amazing. It was 100% successful in my book.
Let me give you a little background. I have only done one overnighter before this. I have done a lot of day hikes but didn’t really have to pack much. So this was a big learning experience for me. I knew that I had the physical ability to do the hike but not the experience. I learned that as always I over packed. (I do it with the RV as well and drives hubby crazy) I normally hike with guys so this was a real treat to hike with all women. I did Whitney last year and noticed that it was done mostly by guys. So it was cool to meet so many women that love to hike.
I want to thank every woman on this trip for making it great. I didn’t know any of you before I posted on the blog. Thanks to Laura for letting a kinda rooky go. I got to hike with some of you before in preparation for this trip. I love all the different personalities of all the women. We each had something to offer.
What I got out of this trip: I have always loved the outdoors and now love it even more. It was so amazing to hike in the back country and see the natural beauty that it has to offer. It means something different to each person. To me it was a spiritual one. I learned some good and bad things about myself. I will be working on the bad and trying to improve the good.
I think this trip had a lot of expatiations from many on the trip and viewers watching to see if we would fail or succeed. We had some bad times on the trip but we all learned from what went wrong. We had more good times that so out weights the few problems that we had. If you don’t make mistake then you will never learn and that goes for everything in life. For me I wouldn’t change anything about this trip. I learned and grew in many different ways.
I want to say a huge THANK YOU to Moosie for sharing what hiking and being out there means to her. Thank you for taking all of us and putting up with us.  I have enjoyed meeting you and loved the time together. I hope that we can do it again some time because you are a great hiker and I know that there is so much that I could learn from you.
I hope that we can do this next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I want to say THANK YOU and SORRY to my pal SanDe_Carole. I broke your tent, beat you up all weekend and you still took amazing care of me. I love the way we banner back and forth.
I got a new nick name this weekend. Not sure how it happened but I am now Mouse. I lost the Ava and spiderme because everyone started calling me mouse. I think I will have to change my spiderme on the board to Mouse now. Thanks Bee..
So in closing I want to thank you all for putting up with me, I know sometimes I can be well a little much. I will remember the bond with each and everyone of you and hope to hike with each and every one of you again.
I hope that with the board that I will meet and learn from some more great women.
Mouse out.
