A Few Words: in retrospect, I see the following as terribly cliche, but i think it still gives truthful insight into my interests/desires/purposes... from a summer 2005 journal: Sunrise on the Tetons is perfectly un-imaginable and wholly indescribable, or I would attempt to do so. Watching the sunset across the largest of North America's high altitude lakes from a sea of peaks and alpine terrain is equally breathtaking. Laying back on the sandy shores of Yellowstone Lake to watch the Milky Way Galaxy slide by and counting the shooting stars only to be distracted by a storm rolling in 50 miles to the East is entirely satisfying. Picking a route up a mountain (without aid of trail) that gains nearly 7000' of elevation in 6 miles, then being blasted by 50mph winds as we crest a summit ridge with 12,000+ ft peaks in view is far more motivation than I have ever experienced. And doing all this on a regular basis has made me ALIVE. I have decided: this is me. I was made for this.
