Ain’t no mountain high enough…
Oooooooh yes there is! Mount Washington in New Hampshire is the highest peak in the Northeastern US, looming at 6,288 ft. (1,917 m) and back in the day, I climbed up that baby. Never having done anything like that before, and at a friend’s suggestion, I packed some things and joined him and his 76 year old mom for the trek of my lifetime! Little did I know what I was getting myself into. I won’t bore you with the details but suffice it to say, half way up I was totally incapable of looking down. Vertigo! Who knew? But if you know nothing else about me, know this. I AM NOT quitter. So without ever looking back, I made it to the top of that mother of a mountain, where I literally kissed the ground before pulling myself up over the edge and onto my wobbly legs.
My friend was an experienced climber, so I felt (reasonably) safe. His 76 year old mom, by the way, was ahead of me every step of the way. And I DID take a vehicle to the bottom. Hey! One way is better than no way.
