Sunrise over Sheep creek

This photo was taken at sheep creek, just east of Intersection Mountain (the mountain on the BC/AB border where BC starts to jut Eastward).

There is an arguement between my friend and I who took this photo. I am certain I did, and he is certain he did. It really doesn't matter.

As I was looking at this photo I was reminded about the promise of every new day and the importance of always pushing on. This photo was taken while I was on a three week horse pack trip down the great divide. We had to camp for 3 or 4 days at Sheep creek because 2 horses went lame on us, and the weather was horrible. Right around when this photo was taken we were contemplating giving up on our goal, and just trying to get to nearest civilization (which was still 3 days aways). We were wet, dirty and a bit discouraged. Thankfully we decided to push on and it became one of the most impactful experiences in my life. I am certain that memories of that trip will often be an inspiration for my posts.
