From a Hike

Hiked up Mount Galehead, one of about 48 four-thousand footers in New Hampshire, with a group of friends. Going up had its challenges, but coming down I felt great and was running at points just because it felt good. When I stopped, my legs would start shaking...so I tried not to stop.

This was shot near the Galehead Hut about 4 miles up the mountain, near the summit. Crazy to imagine people lugging up supplies. Crazy awesome! In the photo world, people suggest to come up with a "plan b" if all else fails. That's my 'plan b.' Or something like that. Sell my car. Grow a beard. Hike barefoot. Become a hermit who only leaves the woods once a month to update a videocast about being a hermit. Ok, I'm romanticizing it a bit. In another life maybe.

Check one off the list of 4000 footers. I could get them all done next summer if I average 1 every 3 days.
