It all started with a crazy idea, traveling from Fountainview Academy to Princess Louisa Inlet by foot — a journey of almost 100 miles. The intended route involved crossing steep mountains and deep river valleys. Senior Eric Welch and freshman Christian Miller tell a few of the scenes along the way; vertical bushwhacking, helicopter rides, sketchy rappels, rockfall, and a mountaintop proposal. This is one adventure story you won't want to miss.
