Hike 34: Monastery at San Juan Bautista

This is a special hike for me. This hike was at the property of San Juan Bautista Monastery outside of San Jose California. I was at this monastery at an Alcoholics Anonymous retreat with a wonderful group of men.

Me and three other guys went up this trail called the Brothers’ Way. There are no pictures or names of these awesome folks that I hiked with, because our anonymity is our own, and I will not blow my friend’s anonymity. I will not go much more into this, as humility is the cornerstone of the Program, and I do not wish to compromise my own program by bragging about it. I will only say that it saved my life, and my soul, and if you think you might have a problem, I am happy to take you to a meeting; it is a program that must be shared.
