Mt. Whitney






Back in August Nate and I took a 3 day backpacking trip with Mark and Cindy. We hiked Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States. It was amazing. Thanks to Nate's parent's who took great care of our girls and for Mark and Cindy making the trip to California. We braved the bears, wag bags (if you don't know what this is, don't ask), 126 switchbacks in one section, crazy climbs in elevation, not showering for 3 days. spectacular views, great talks and a lot of fun.

You guys were so brave. Andy and Ty were bummed they couldn't make it. The corporate meetings changed the plans slightly. Looks like you guys had fun. I can't say I would be that daring. You guys are great!
