Found out today that while I'm in much better shape than last year, I still have a long ways to go. The trail up was continuously steep and long, but despite being breathless and having aching calves, it was a great climb. Must start going there more regularly, especially if I'm going to survive the actual hike up the Mountain. lol. The view from up top was spectacular - you could see SO much!! Loved it. Quite happy that it wasn't super sunny and bright today, made it much more bearable. The trail down was super nice. *G* Learned today what poison oak actually looks like, and it was ALL over up there. DO NOT leave the trail. And be careful about touching some of the nearby area too. lol.
Anyway, it was fun! Neat to get to relax with my coworker, too, instead of always talking about work and being rushed. She has a gorgeous husky dog, Sheba. Beautiful! Going to have to do it again - whether with coworkers or just me and Nate. Whoo! Be fun either way.

You're hiking stories have inspired me. My best friend and I are going to start going hiking a few times a week. We've been making fat jokes about ourselves for way too long, and we both need to get back into shape for our sports in the fall - this seems like a great way to do it. Have you taken any more pictures? Send them my way if you have - loved your other ones!
Hope you're doing well. Too bad the weekend is over so quickly, huh? Monday always comes so fast! Ick.

I do have more pictures, I still need to get them scanned and uploaded though. Found out that Fotki only allows you so many free pics before you have to buy...and I filled it. So, need to find another site to go to. Blast it. *grumps a bit* Oh well. Will share as soon as I can! Got a garter snake yesterday on film! He's pretty, hope the pic turns out better than the last one. lol.
Doing well. A bit tired from going overboard on the hiking this weekend, but it's a good tired. I'm actually hoping to get to go again tomorrow, if I can get off work a few hours early. Maybe! Monday's arrive much, much too early. My friend and I have started calling Monday's Mnementh Day, in an effort to make them more enjoyable. It's actually working, a wee bit! lol. Do you know Mnementh? We also ended up calling Thursdays Dragon Day, because we were going TGITH, and it reminded us of Mnementh and the others....
Ok, now you're convinced I'm crazy. Sorry!!! Horse crazy, dragon crazy, wolf crazy....*giggles* Hope you're having a great day as well, and try to have a great Mnementh's Day! ;D
