"OH GREAT BEARS HUMP" -Austin Leavitt


Last night we got this brilliant idea to hike Bears Hump in Waterton in the dark. Me, Aaron, Colton & Austin hopped into the van with 20 glows sticks and no flashlights and headed for Waterton. Along the way we picked up Ashley and continued our party to Waterton. We arrived at Bears Hump and I guess we lost patience waiting for Jaden, Jordan and Whitney so we started running up the mountain. About a quarter of the way up we decided we would wait for them. When they finally arrived for some reason we continued RUNNING up the mountain. Why? Not exactly sure. The higher we got up the harder it was to see, by the time we got to the top we were in the clouds. We all flopped town on the rock and we didn't move for probably a good 45 minutes. We had a ton of laughs up there. Only Austin would do push ups at the edge of a cliff looking down. This is why we love him. Also because he thinks if you ask the mountain questions he'll answer back...? The hike down was probably more difficult because it was 10 times more darker, nobody wanted to be in the back or the front so it was a fight to stay in the middle. Austin wanted us to refer him as "Fearless Leader" ...he wasn't very happy when I got in front of him. I think the only thing that got us down from that mountain was knowing we were going to Weiners of Waterton right after. I assumed that was the reason seeing as we all kept yelling "hot dogs!"...not to sure if that would attract a bear or keep them away because we were so loud. The drive home was an adventure also, the fog forced us to drive 40km/h pretty much the whole way home. Everybody fell asleep except for me and Austin so we had to crack open another bottle of glow sticks to keep us all entertained. I think I'd have to declare this song the song of the night just because Austin played it OVER and OVER on the way home. Enjoy the pictures ;)

Sorry for not being so clear, we were in a cloud so pictures we hard to take. But i'm not to sure what Austin is doing right here...probably screaming at the rocks. No surprise there.

  2. So glad we were some inspiration for you and your friends last summer. We hate it when people don't realize that Wieners of Waterton is waiting at the end of a long hike and they end up getting stuck in the mountains for days. Terrible tragedy. Oh, and don't worry, we'll be back again this summer! Hope to see you and all your friends again. In the meantime, check out our website: www.wienersofwaterton.com
