The local paper held an essay contest to win tickets to the local showing of the Banff Mountain Film Festival show.  I think I’ve only bought tickets to half of these shows I’ve attended since I’ve won tickets several times.  So I sent in my outdoor adventure essay.  It was tough to keep it under 200 words, so it doesn’t flow really well.  But I was one of 5 winners, so I don’t care.  Here’s a shot from the paper.
