Captain Redundant

Is a man that I met while hiking yesterday. He warned us not to hike past 5 miles on the La Luz trail due to ice. He said we would fall and crack our heads open and our brains would spill out. But it wasn't just a warning. He talked for about 10 minutes. He wouldn't stop. He kept saying the same things, in the same graphic manner. Faith is convinced he has treasure burried up there. Joshua named him Captain Redundant, while I sneakily stole a couple pictures of him. I'm sure that's illegal, but his beard demands to be photographed.



After we were done talking to the captain, we took a break on a rock that overlooked the whole city. It was cool.



Joshua came prepared with a 3 point sermon.


Joshua and Rachel did not heed the captain's warnings and kept hiking the two extra miles to the top of the trail. Faith and I stopped at five miles due to the condition of our shoes, and the pain in our limbs. We were lied to, and told they would be back in one hour. By one hour they meant two. So Faith and I waited. When I say Faith, I mean the person, not the fruit of the spirit.



While we waited, we talked about God, Evolution, Mission Trips, Prophecy, and Native Americans.

We came back with sore muscles, sunburns, and good memories.
Today I am crippled and have one bright red arm.
We plan to return this summer with our dogs.
