Home and Hangin'

My trip out West went well and hopefully something will pop out of the opportunities I've had in the past couple of weeks. I'm home now and reasonably grumpy. I twisted an ankle in an intraural soccer game this week and wasn't able to go on a trip to Jay Peak in Northern Vermont. Quite a bummer, and it's been a quiet weekend.

On the other hand, a sprained ankle isn't too bad and it's healing quickly. And our soccer team (go Gunther!) rocked pretty hardcore.

A couple of weeks ago, I headed to the High Peaks with Jesse, Kyle, Nathan, and Ben. We wanted to climb both Cascade and Porter in the day. I dig spring in the mountains because there is still snow everywhere but you often get bluebird days like these.

After a couple hours of hiking, we made it to the top of Porter. We were pretty stoked (Ben captured this moment):



From the top of Porter you can see Cascade (Objective #2)



We back-tracked to the trail junction and worked our way up Cascade. While Porter isn't really above the tree-line, Cascade is. And it blows in a super windy kind of way.



I am superman!

Have a good one!
