Last Notion

I wake up with a new feeling. I am no longer sore, I am well rested and I am ready to make my last day in Wyoming the best one. Talks and whispers of a hike at Laurance Rockefeller's wild life Preserve have circulated through out the morning. It is decided we will take a 2.9 mile hike through the woods and valleys of the preserve. With everyone recalling yesterdays rafting trip we decide to kick the adventure down a couple notches as far as exercise goes. We got in our car and drove up to the preserve, unfortunately we are without two people. I wish Nate good luck in his swim meet and Kara a safe flight home. Anyway, the preserve is 2,100 acres donated by the Rockefeller family, luckily we only have to navigate across 2.9 miles of it. Through out the hike it was just my mother, cousin and myself making jokes and talking about our crazy families. We all talked by just joking of course. I had spent the past week or so covered in sunscreen, bugs eating me alive and also having the time of my life. But this special hike was really great in some strange way that the other events couldn't live up to. I recall seeing many people walking in front of us and just saying hello back and fourth between one another. As our group approaches Phelps lake at the base of a mountain seeing clear blue skies reflect upon the surface of the lake. We climbed down on to the shore of the big lake. We can see little ducks and there mother swimming across the blue water. It made me think how important it is to have family and friends who care about you no matter what. I love having family and friends It it has just taken those six ducks to make me think about it. If you love someone don't ever let them go not matter what.
