Oh Baby, It's ON!

The date has been set.
The grandparents have been scheduled to tend the Hill babes.
The gear purchased.
We're going to tackle this giant in a couple of weeks.
We may be a bit older than last time.
We may be carrying a few more pounds.
BUT, I know we can do it!


Mt. Timpanogas Elevation 11, 749

And...yes, you actually really do see stuff like this.
As Abby would say, "FOR REALS".
Last time we did this, an unfriendly moose even chased us.
That was fun and terrifying all in one.
I hope Mr. Moose is sleeping this time.
I don't think I have the energy to out run him again.


And this is the view from the ghastly summit.
There's a scary little tin shed at the top where you get to sign your name that you made it.
As if it goes down in history or something.
And that white stuff? An awesome permanent glacier.
Sliding down that puppy will take about 3 or 4 hours off your descent time.
We were warned previous that it might result in broken bones.
It was the best part of the trip last time.
I can't wait!!!
