How I Spent My Summer Vacation...

On The Summit of Mt. Lassen.
10,462 feet Above Sea Level.

I loved every step. The view was spetacular, the clouds you see behind "Herr Doktor Krankenpants" here are at the same level as the summit, so one minute its bright sunshine, the next you were standing in a cloud.

Whats it like hiking at 10,000 feet? Exactly like you'd imagine being an 80 year old and running a marathon would be at sea level.

Next year - Mt. Whitney.

Wimp! Send me an email and I'll send you a picture of a real "Mountain Climbing" ordeal (12000 feet in NOVEMBER, not August).

Oh I agree. It wasnt really "mountain climbing", much more like "moutain walking". It was still fun though!
