    Rockwall BP

    记录一下,本人的第一次重装徒步旅行,8.27-8.31五天四晚Rockwall 穿越,圆满完成。 出发前因BC 山火而犹豫不决,不过最终还是决定抓住难得的机会,实现自己人生的第一次BP。结果是非常圆满而美好的。最高兴的就是每次户外活动都能结识一大批新朋友,个个身怀绝技不说,还都热情开朗积极阳光。这也是我非常喜欢这些户外运动的原因。感谢PNOA 的活动组织和后勤,感谢队友们的互相关照,一路走来比预计的轻松很多。菜鸟小白在逐渐成长。 打油诗记录一下这次BP。 卑诗深山远,山中有石墙。耸立万尺高,绵延百里长。飞鸟不能渡,传闻仙人藏。户外背包客,组队去探访。须眉九好汉,巾帼十娇娘。南线三女侠,随行有七将。北路七仙女,另配两健郎。两队齐进山,相约正中央。北路有领导,保尔当队长。还有小文青,记录做文章。晴空天色好,略有烟尘扬。首日穿林走,无景聊家常。安营扎寨处,飞瀑挂前方。营边有小溪,溪水刺骨凉。晚餐美食秀,锅碗瓢盆响。晨起拍金顶,美照约分享。迂回渐登高,豁然景开朗。石墙巍峨立,冰川万古长。小径蜿蜒走,雪湖洗脚爽。可惜野花败,轻烟如纱帐。草甸遇灰熊,踱步气轩昂。远远问个好,不扰巡查忙。三日最轻松,会师窄道上。拉旗拍合照,珍重分道扬。早早到营地,正好有艳阳。晒被晒帐篷,还可洗衣裳。餐后来拉伸,琳达教练强。早睡养精锐,次日不慌张。爬升近千米,才能到湖旁。景色在高处,最美好风光。金松林中走,垭口极目望。蓝绿双色湖,微风翻细浪。湖水太冰凉,放弃水中浪。闲适湖边坐,假钓学姜尚。冰川时发怒,雪崩轰鸣响。轮番摆姿势,美女拍照忙。祈祷天给力,日出洒金光。明天不下雨,外加星空朗。天也很无语,太贪没商量。夜半狂风作,晨起急雨降。略作惩戒后,雨收云雾茫。风止倒影现,湖山半云藏。仙境不常见,齐呼人品旺。流连不愿去,美景心中藏。出山奔温泉,美食任君尝。壮哉石墙道,圆满走一趟。
