7th Inning Stretch

As I write this on 8/29, I'm just heading out for my next grand adventure with friends Bob and Tony. A 9 day fullpack backcountry hike through the Sierra Mountains of California, and, weather, legs, and lungs permitting, a summit attempt of Mt Whitney, the highest peak in the continental US. This will be my second attempt; last year we got injuried and weathered out. Sometimes the mountain wins.

When I get back I'll continue with the pulitzer award winning Mexico-Canada bike relay story, and then have our summer road trip through AZ/UT/ID/MT (our 48th and 49 states!) story, and finally the Sierra's story. Then, unfortunately, I have to start looking for some work to rebuild the coffers from our year sabbatical. Amazing how fast the cash goes away!

Lots more to come. See you in a couple of weeks, assuming the bears leave me alone.
