-------------------------------
The first time I went to the Carpathians I was lucky enough to have been invited by the graduating class of School #8, Chervonohrad, Ukraine, some of whose students I taught in 1993 on a summerlong stint as an English teacher with the Ukrainian National Association/Prosvita project "Teaching English in Ukraine".
The above photos were taken on a hiking trip not far from the city of Skole, Lviv oblast. When I was invited on that trip, I was really excited because, having previously "studied" the Ukrainian Carpathians, I thought we would go to an area where there were "real" mountains. Although the mountains I saw on that trip were by no means artificial, I was a bit disappointed because I led myself to believe that we would be hiking up mountains with veritable timberlines, and in an alpine setting comparable to the Chornahora. To make a long story short, I was lucky enough to be accompanied, or "guided," by Ukrainian natives when I went in 1993. We camped in a mountain valley, sang songs at night, and essentially went for the social atmosphere, not the mountaineering. The students who I went with, accompanied by an adult, were very generous and provided me with food, shelter, plenty of horilka, and company. One of the students on the trip I came to know very well and consequently married her the following summer. This led to my 1994 trips to the Carpathians and Mt. Hoverla.
