STEP 1 - Title this post "DVD Chapters of My Life"
STEP 2 - Section your life story into at least 10 chapters (feel free to do more, it's actually fun and builds on itself). Don't feel responsible for covering every single event and detail of your life, just the interesting stuff that would be in a movie. These chapters should be in order. Most important - give these chapters interesting DVD titles.
1. Planning: In this chapter my buddies and I would meet up periodically throughout the week to continue to plan for our trip in Glacier National Park.
2. The Meeting: In this chapter my friends and their families would meet up for our final meeting before heading off to get our gear ready and get the bus ready to go.
3. The drive: In this chapter my friends and I started our trip to driving to Glacier National Park and our various stops at Americas most well known land marks.
4. Ready, Set GO!: In this chapter we have just arrived at the Park, we set up our camp and started our hike to the Glacier that we where going to climb.
5. The climb: In this chapter we have just reached the bottom of the Glacier and have just started to climb up the Glacier.
6. The sign: In this chapter we start to see clouds in the distance and the winds start to pick up, but we decided to keep climbing hoping we would make it up and down before the storm got there.
7. Get in Quick!: The storm came upon us a lot faster than we thought so we quickly had to make a shelter before the storm got any worse.
8. The escape: Finally after hours of storming we have finally escaped the storm and have decided to continue on to get to the top of the glacier.
9: the peak: We finally reach the top of the glacier and have set up a day camp to explore the surrounding area. We then start to climb down the glacier to get back to our base camp.
10. home sweet home!; After 20 hours of driving we have finally reached home and have celebrated a great trip and an adventure that we will never forget for the rest of our lives.
STEP 3 - Choose 5 chapters and describe in detail the specific scenes that would go in those chapters. You can do this in bullet points or in paragraph descriptions - whatever it takes to give an idea of the story that will be in each chapter.
Chapter 6: As we were climbing up the glacier we started to see dark clouds of in the distance and we thought that they where so far away that we would be up and down the glacier before the storm would ever reach us. We were very wrong. We continued to climb up the glacier and not really spending much attention to the storm. I was listening to my ipod as we climbed up the glacier so I wasn't really hearing any signs from my friends or from the sky of any kind on a nearing storm. We all continued up the glacier mind our own business and looking at the vas snow in front of us. In 6 hours the storm was upon us.
Chapter 1: Five weeks before we would start our journey to Glacier National Park we would meet up every tuesday to plan for our trip, by creating map routes for hiking and driving, getting our equipment, getting our food for the trip, and renting out a bus for the drive to the park. We would then call around to find camp sites for our base camp and go to rock climbing facilities to practice rock climbing in case we had to cross over the back side of the glacier. We would then continue exercise problems to get in physical shape for our rigorous trip to Glacier National Park.
Chapter 7: In this chapter the storm has started to get worse and we have to quickly build a shelter. We found a portion of the mountain that had some trees and deep snow so we created snow shelters under a tree so that we could be protected from snowfall and still be in a secure shelter. We quickly got into our shelters that fit three people and 5 minutes later it started to hail and get very worse outside. We where hunkered down for 7 hours as the storm rolled on and on and on. We played multiple games of poker, war gold fish, and dominoes as my friend played some music on his ipod. We were all very worried about if we could get out of this storm, but we hoped for the best nonetheless.
Chapter 9: After multiples hours of being in our shelter we finally where able to go out side and get some fresh air. We decided that we didn't come all this way to give up now so we decided to continue on and get to the top of the glacier. We hiked up the mountain for another 5 hours or so and finally reached the top of the glaicer. It gave me at least a sense of pride that was lost in the storm and a sense of achievement as well. When we reached the top of the glacier we set up a day camp and decided to go and explore the glacier for the day and after a couple of hours of that we started to head down to the trail. When we got down to the trail we saw that tons of trees where down, but luckily they we were not big enough to block the trail. We finally reached the road and got on the bus back to our camp site.
Chapter 10: After getting to base cap we went on a fishing trip for the next three days. Each night my friends and I would go to the local restaurants for dinner and sit at the camp fire for the night. The final day we all went white water rafting. The company would take us up the river a ways and then the guide would bring us down the river as we rowed the raft. We eventually got down to where they're building was along the river and then we changed out of our wet suits and got back on the bus to spend the last night at our camp site. We woke up early the next morning and started out trip back to Minnesota. On the way we stopped at numerous American land marks and stopped at multiple restaurants. We finally reached Minnesota two days later and spent the next two days resting and relaxing.
