The Fellowship of Pico

The Female Fellowship members (minus myself)

There are not enough words to describe climbing up Pico... I can however say that we started off as a Fellowship of 6 and were able to conquer Pico together as 6.

The beginning of Pico!

Oh hey pico!

One - Madeline - aka Gandalf

Two - Advaita - aka Samwise Gamgee

Three - Anya - aka Frodo

Four - Katrina - aka Aragon

Five - Adriana - aka Legolas

Seis - Tome - aka Gimlee

6 hours of climbing in the dark + 1 flashlight & 4 phone lights + 2 hours waiting for the sun to rise (FREEZING OUR BUTTS OFF) + 4 hours of climbing downhill = ONE amazing journey to the top of Pico and back and a lifetime of (stupid) memories.

Sunrise at the top of pico! (6:30am)

The Fellowship made it!

Yes we were under prepared... we had no sleeping bag, no real flashlights, no tent, and were not dressed properly... but we made it!

Hitchhiking

Hitchhiking as a form of transportation while travelling to other islands can be exceptionally rewarding. Besides the obvious benefit of not having to walk or pay for a taxi, the hitchhiker is able to get to know the locale from a different perspective. From milk trucks to compact cars and from weathered, old gentlemen to attractive, young ladies, the hitchhiker cannot afford to be choosy. At the end of the day, however, the hitchhiker must be willing to walk substantially and will undoubtedly do so during his or her adventures.
