Day One — Kyle McCallister and Anne Ingersoll
June 22, 2008
The drive I heard was very interesting and full of many trees. Many people said it was a scenic route. The only problem was that I was in a van full of girls and I fell asleep the entire time. We did stop and eat at a few places but most of the time I was asleep.

Three words that come to mind to describe our first day – early, rainy, and beautiful. Yes, our day started early. After receiving a blessing from Glen and praying with our families, we pulled away from the church at 6:22 a.m. Not more than two hours after our departure it started to rain……and rain…..and rain. As one of the drivers, I became frustrated with the rain and the constant motion of the windshield wipers. (This was supposed to be a beautiful and relaxing drive to the mountains!) Little did I know that the beauty was waiting hours ahead of us. After more than 12 hours of driving (and constant rain), the beauty was finally upon us. It was like the heavens opened, the clouds separated, and I heard the faint sounds of the Alleluia chorus. We had reached the mountains and it was beautiful! The last two hours of the trip was just gorgeous.
