Well... I looked back through my pictures I took on my high adventure trips with Boy Scouts and I started to cry. They weren't tears of sadness but tears of joy. I am so grateful that I have been able to do the things I have. I'll say more in my journal but this is from when I was in Yellow Stone National Park. Saw a very beautiful chance for a sunset picture.

I am literally less than a month away from aging out of Boy Scouts with the rank of eagle and two palms. I went to Ransburg every year I have been able to and it brings back tears to think that will be the last time I will ever set foot on the grounds of one of my most cherished memories. I still have one more campout coming up that I can go on as an official Boy Scout but after that I won't be able to stay with my troop. There are too many things I wish I could do again and so many opportunities that I missed out on that I wish I could go back and do one more time. I think the thing I miss the most is being the "Timmy tenderfoot" who gets lost in the middle of a rain storm, unknowingly picks the lowest parts to set up the tent(that was fun...) and struggling to work my way up the leadership positions. Now that I'm at the top of the mountain, the only place I want to be is at the bottom again. I managed to sneak my GoPro on my last week at Ransburg and will keep those videos and pictures forever. There's just too many opportunities that this life gives me and I have to make the hard decision on which ones to take and which ones to leave behind.
