Memoirs of a Mountain High

It was the summer of 94
when I took a Wilderness Leadership Semester from the
Colorado Outward Bound School . Needless to say that it
was the most emotional, challenging, and rewarding

One week spent running the Upper Green River in
western\Colorado and northern Utah. Through The Gates

for the 15 mile marathon and finals, (a week of travel) this
was also used for reflecting on our experiences. The solo
