Friends who are crazy

Some fisherman came along and asked the guys, "how did you ever find three girlfriends who were willing to come out here? What island did you find them on?" Ed said, "We found them and married them."
Where do you find friends who are willing to sit in the cold rain for 7 days in the middle of no where? Climb through snow and ice with no trail? Eat protein bars and dried food for days on end? Share purified river water with stamina in it? Who will share loads, go the extra mile, keep smiling no matter what, and be willing to go on another adventure or misadventure next time around? Where do you find people who find joy in hiking in temps over 100, sleep in temps below freezing, on the ground; take baths with sani-wipes for days, drive hundreds of miles to begin a trip, and share a rock pillow while watching the stars?
It's a mystery how God puts people together. A blessed mystery.
