I often bring with me a small guitar when I go camping or hiking for any length of time. But have you seen how HUGE a Cello is?  I can certainly understand her wanting to do this...

Ruth Boden, a WSU music professor, carried this gigantic instrument the whole way on her back (which if you use a little imagination, looked like an alien was playing piggy back on her hike!) You'll have to watch the video to see what I mean.

She is an amazing musician and wanted the experience of connecting with the earth, her instrument and the world through music from a peak way up high in the Wallowa mountain range. Imagine how that must have sounded from way up there! Wow!

What an experience! Glad someone was there to video it so we all could enjoy it!
