Coming to you from the highest peak in Egypt

Brent and Josh got back on Sunday night from their 4 day backpacking adventure. They hiked many miles, including to the top of Egypt's highest peak--Mt. Saint Catherine. They felt truly cold weather for the first time in many months and saw some beautiful scenery. Brent said it was peaceful and beautiful, but his favorite part was spending time with Josh. They slept out under the stars and even climbed up Mt. Sinai in the dark so they could see the sunrise. They ate MRE's, lots of oatmeal and trailmix, but they did get a real turkey dinner on Thanksgiving night, thanks to some careful planning and a few hired camels:)
