Outro
What a great trip. It was really fun to just get away for awhile, from work, from my computer, and everything else. I'm not a big camping person (although I've gone twice this year now officially), but I had an amazing time again and although I had a sore neck from sleeping on the ground without enough cushion (and was super-stuffed-up nearly every morning), I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. Not only did I have a great time talking and hanging out with good friends, but I got to know some people better that I didn't feel like I knew as well and everyone got along the entire time. Hopefully, we'll do it again sometime. As a closer, I'm providing some top lists (mainly for the amusement of those who were on the trip, although others may find humour in the oddities as well).
