Share and Voice: Spring Break Challenge

So I decided take part in Erika's challenge to post some great pictures from my spring break...I did my eye opener on my hiking trip to the Appalachian Mountains but I had so many great photos that I just wanted to share more!

Above is a photo of the group on big rocks view

To the right, I'm inbetween a few of my favorite people..Amanda (my tent buddy) and Sarah!

Like I mentioned in my eye opener we stayed in tents most of the time but in shelters for a few nights. Here is a photo of what Amanda and my tent always looked like..we were always hanging things to dry on it..a little ridiculous

On the AT trail..everyone has a trail name. Mine was jitterbug because apparently I'm "jittery and cute as a bug" (thanks to Sarah a.k.a. mama bear..) jittery in the aspect that at night I would always hear noises and freak out. One night some sort of animal pushed the tent down on my hand as I was sleeping then tried to get into the tent (ha i swear) and I ended up waking up Amanda..so I didn't have to be freaked out alone...she wasn't too happy about that :)

Also another time Amanda got up in middle of the night. She thought she heard a frog jumping around in our tent...it was so cold and I couldn't imagine getting out of my sleeping bag..I came to the conclusion that I could handle a frog jumping around..but the key word here is THOUGHT..that "frog" ended up being a mouse. I don't think I've ever jumped up so fast! It was four in the morning and here is me and Amanda screaming and huddling in the tent because this little tiny mouse was running around all of our things! Poor thing was probably so scared. As we calmed down we never did see that mouse again. We were sure he ended up in our bags and was going to take a trip back to MN.

This was a picture of our final destination..after 50 miles..it was really rewarding to look at! I know I didn't add too many more photos but just a few more of my favorite ones!
