CTIK takes to the wilderness...

Although it was deemed impossible by a few, I did, in fact, survive the wilderness! Some co-workers, their significant others, Scott, and I trekked (okay, drove :0) to a beautiful lake and set up our camp. Highlights include the company of Scott (as always), a swim in the lake, and a beautiful walk to a river where we looked at rocks (including many lava rocks), immersed our hands in clay, and drank what hopefully is really clean glacial water. Although the weather posed as a challenge to my fun, the sun seemed to peak through the clouds at the exact moment that we walked out of the forest and onto the river bed. For a brief moment, time seemed to stand still; it was a truly magical moment that I simply will not forget.
