Life is too short

14,000 ft Mr. Shasta as viewed from the top of 10,500 ft Mt Lassen.

A fantastic weekend and another mountain successfully climbed. Other than a burned neck ( oh yes, I guess I really am a "redneck" now...), all is well. It makes a huge amount of difference to climb it after camping at 8,000 feet the day before, than to do what I did last time and go from sea level directly to the top. That climb was quite painful, this one was a breeze.

The next climb is White Mountain Peak in Owens Valley in August. That will be my first 14,000 foot peak.

Frank use a large 'do rag' around your neck. Mine is a US flag design. Works great for sweat. Scouting?. Check out my latest 'Global Warming' site. It's about the 'real thing'. blogengeezer@wordpress

I quoted You about the 'Dreaded CO2'. Seems like throughout History, it has always been a 'dastardly curse', never in perfect balance. According to the 'Chicken Littles' of these times, You and I are the latest cause. Enjoy life on this Earth Frank, Thats why we are here. Enjoy the awesome 'National Parks', we sure do. See you around the campfire some trip.
