Freakishly Happy

As a spontaneous decision, Joni and I have decided to set a goal to climb Mount Kilimanjaro within the next couple of years. This will hopefully give us a goal to get into shape as well as spend more time outdoors.

We have decided to start climing and hiking a lot more frequently and build up to this. At first, we will do some single day hikes and work our way into two to three day camping hikes.

We have recently climbed the Haystack, near Wells, VT. We took our backpacks with us, mine with two 10 lb bags of kitty litter and a large rock and hers packed full of clothes and towels. We finished the climb in about two hours including a twenty minute break at the summit.

Pictures can be viewed in the Haystack Gallery.
