Part Two: Medford, Music and Canada
In July, nine Wimberley High School graduates set out on an ambitious journey to hike and camp in the major national parks of western U.S. and Canada. In all, they traveled 8,100 miles through more than a dozen states. During the month they were on the road, they answered only to themselves, faced challenges and experienced people, places and events they’ll never forget.
Making the trip were Aiden Dornak, Ivan Becken, Gavin Bock, Reid Leinneweber, Tison Sames, Brock Williams, Dorian Bishop, Christian Garcia and Cash Toomey. The travelers set out from Wimberley in three vehicles. Aiden and Ivan were in Aiden’s 4Runner; Dorian, Cash and Christian were in Cash’s Ram truck; and a quartet of friends, Gavin, Reid, Tison and Brock, were in the third vehicle. Here is part two of their story shared by three of the nine members who made the trip: Aiden, Ivan and Gavin.
