I’m hoping to do a separate write up for each day of the trip over the next week or so. Each day had it’s own personality and almost felt like a vacation in itself. But I really liked AMGtechs trip stats so I’m going to shamelessly rip it off.

Summary: I cannot put into words how amazing this trip was, I’d go to bed every night and have trouble believing that all the stuff I’d seen since that morning actually happened in a single day’s time. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
