From the bottom looking up at the rock |
From the top looking down on Brewer's |
Only a couple of us went: Hannah (New Hampshire), Josh (not NSE, Missouri), Anna (Indiana), Sam (Massachusetts), Will (Massachusetts), and Nate (Colorado). We left around 10 in the morning after getting some breakfast in us. There wasn't much of a trail. We mostly followed our intuitions and tried to not get off the rocks. The rocks were our path in a way. They eventually lead us to the base of the mountain, but not after passing the old hideaway, a cave, and tons of thorny plants. Seriously, everything had a thorn. And the worst part was the last little bit where the trail ended and we had to bushwhack through all those thorns to the top of the rock. The view was worth it.
On the left is the view from the top of the rock looking East. The middle picture is from the top of the NSE students who hiked (Hannah, Nate, Will, Anna, Sam, Me! Josh took the picture since he isn't in NSE). The right is what the "path" looked like when we were coming down (Josh is the guy in the white).
That night after I got out of the shower my RA told me my permanent room was ready, so I finished the night by moving two doors down and setting up my new room. The lock still doesn't work, but I'm happy regardless. Baby steps. The view of the city from my room is incredible. Every night I get the pleasure of just staring out into the lights of town. The sun wakes me up at 7:30 every morning and I don't even complain. I'll put up some pictures of my place later.
