Backpacking in the Drakensberg Mountains

The Nursing group (minus Kelsey R.) had an opportunity to go backpacking in the Drakensberg Mountains with Michael-the pastor of our professor's church. The countryside was absolutely gorgeous, the hike was definitly painful, and the experience was wonderful!

A contemplative pose.."The heavens declare the glory of God...."

here is an exhausted Bri. We hiked about 4 hrs. to our camping spot-mostly uphill.

Roomies!

This is the overlook from out camping spot. The land was virtually untouched by man. This is a natural waterfall which some of our group went swimming in with clothes-and two girls went in their birthday suits. lol I was not insane enough to freeze.

Here is our cave which was really a rock overhanging where we camped at.

It was Sal's Birthday on the day we hiked back!

The bridge to civilization! We survived :)
