Heather talked me into taking a hike in the mountains. I asked if it would be an easy hike, and she said it'd be harder than any hike I've been on before, and man she was right! I had been drinking lots of water before we left because I was getting a headache from the altitude change, and asked if there would be porta-potties at the top of the hill... yeah - not so much! I had two obstacles that almost made me stop. #1 - I seriously couldn't catch my breath in the first 600 yards of the hike. Heather was great and allowed me to take MANY breaks... we're talking every 10 feet I'd have to stop! #2 - after I started to breathe normal we come up to a secluded residence. There was a sign that read "Trespassers will be shot on sight"... yeah - that is a little scary - especially when we walked by his driveway and could hear a buzzing in our ears from the sensors he had set up! Anyway - we made it and from the pictures you can see that it was well worth it. What an amazing view and amazing accomplishment! Thank you Heather for taking me up there and for such a great trip!!! I will never forget it!
