Amy Barnes: #1 Free Choice

I really enjoyed the couple of classes when we watched the documentary of the "Lion King". He is a very passionate guy and loves to hike. The documentary really showed his passion for hiking and the love that he has for the people that he hikes with. It was hilarious to watch, there were many funny parts but also a lot of parts that were amazing and could never be redone. During his hike there was a whole lot of rain and it was very cold. But there were many good days even though they had a lot of bad ones too. During his hike he got hurt and had to sit out a day because the doctor told him to sit out at least for a week and he just couldn't stop hiking. He made a comment "it fixes you to come out there", which I took as the power of the landscape and the healing of removing yourself to get refocused and away by things. This place makes you plumb again and fixes you. I really enjoyed the documentary and I feel like I learned a lot about hiking and the feelings and emotions that many people have for the landscape.
