The hike up Mt. Hood yesterday was very tough. (another page with info.) It's roughly half the distance and elevation of our goal. There were seemingly thousands of wildflowers along the trail, but I didn't really enjoy them until the way down. :) The view from the top was spectacular, and we could see all the way to San Francisco. The best thing is that we weren't dying at the end, so I think our frequent hikes are starting to pay off.
I took pictures.
Remember when I was telling you about Sonoma Mountain and the bog entanglement? Matt posted pictures.
I think the evening is the best time to go hiking. It's nice and cool, there isn't a soul on the trails, and the low angle of the sun makes nice pictures.
The only drawback, mosquitos.
The Yosemite training is going well. Monday night we went on a four mile hike. Last night we went on a five mile hike with a 1,000 foot elevation change. The next few weeks we're going to push ourselves a bit, starting with a ten mile, 2,000 foot elevation change hike this weekend.
someone on metafilter pointed to some book catalog software called Readerware that supports scanning. They even have a Palm edition. Only $50. cheap! (but there goes my new project...)
Hey cool. All of the time I spend on this site is starting to pay off. I've been nominated for jack squat. Just being nominated for nothing is the real honor. In return, I would like to announce the nomination of the A WholesTM Awards in the Onfocus Best Online Awards AwardsTM. So far they're the only nominee. Looks like a lock-in.
