Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught... here is our story..
Chapter 01
In The Beginning:
It was a wednesday afternoon and Tim, Justin, Jeremy, Mark, and myself were all done our essays (except for justin because he
doesn't do anything of that sort) and seeing that it was a beautiful day outside we all decided to go for a hike, the mountain is
located in Duncan or just outside Duncan because i cannot imagine someone building a town around a mountain and expecting it to do well. but the point is, it is in the Duncan area. we drive out there, i my self am the only one on the trip who has not climbed this stack of stone and i am giddy with excitement as conversation, Jokes and serenity mixed with anticipation are all floating around the van in prefect harmony. Just kidding, but it was a fun van ride none the less. we get to the base of the mountain and from the drive it seems that we are already at the top seeming that half of the drive was up hill but as we get out and walk some ways we soon discover, or i do anyways that it is quite a lengthy trip to the top.
Chapter 02
The Exodus to the Top:
The hike is beautiful, the sun is setting in roughly two hours, (so you can gauge in your minds where it is in the sky) the trails are barren of other people and it is quite hot out so it was a great time to run around on a mountain without our shirts or a care in the world. finally at the top we have great down time and talk time with the boys and the temperature starts to cool down so we make our way down to the bottom. but instead of walking we sprinted down. If you ever do this hike you will find that it is pretty steep and we got down pretty quick. but we failed to make it to the van because we stopped on one of the openings/outcroppings of stone that overlooked the valley to the west. we sat down and enjoyed the sunset which was so beautiful if i was married...you can fill in the gaps, oh ill just say it, have a nice camp out on the outcropping and we would read our bible together. And the idea came to mind that since for the next while it is to be beautiful and the weather is to be clear we came to the conclusion that it would be a waste if we didn't sleep under the stars at The Point. Oh and i forgot the the mountain was called Zoohalen, but thats not how its spelt, it starts with a "T" and then is subsequently followed by other letters, but thats how you say it Zoohalen, with a T sound at the beginning. We watched the sun over mountains in the distance, set, while sitting on a mountain over a valley.
Chapter 03
Out of Egypt, Into Superstore:
We headed over to our beloved superstore and bought steak in the form of chunks and strips, fine cheeses, a can of beans and alphagetti, and peppers. when we returned to the camp it was nightfall and there was some preparation to be done to make this trip a success. We packed our packs and headed over to the kitchen to prepare some banok bread dough to accompany our steak and cheese. From there the hike started.
Chapter 04
The Journey of Men:
It was a fun but strenuous hike since we were carrying bags and just returned from a hefty hike on the previous mountain. Its pitch black outside and our headlamps are doing everything but failing on us but luckily Mark brought a machete to save the day if any cougars showed up and we were blind in the dark. Also some girls were planning on "scaring" us in the dark but failed to act on there plans, it was lucky for them because we all had knifes and are masters of the art of throwing them through the forest, and we implemented the policy of use knives first and ask questions later. we made a humble fire on the rocks next to the sea where we sat down around it roasting steak with fresh bread and fine cheeses while passing jokes and fine stories as young gentlemen do. the food all had a unique taste since it was fire roasted over the underbrush and vines of the majestic west coast deciduous and coniferous forests. the burning of wood from that area adds a unique smoked flavour that you can find no where else in the world. once we were done our dinner we continued our hike to the point where we sat around digesting our food and talking some more as we were accompanied by a starry night without clouds of any sort quickly upon entering my sleeping bag i passed out and woke up in the morning with a nice coating of young dew on me. we packed out stuff watched the sun rise, went back to camp, then we went to mystic beach which was fun and another hike.
Chapter 05
That was just a taste of what happened, it would take me a millennia to write an exact account of what has happened. Although not exhaustive, this is an exelent account of what has happened on the wednesday of the month of february on the day in the year of Stephoneus Harperous
