    I've been meaning to post some pics from an adventure the Wifey and I went on a couple weekends ago. It was our 10 year wedding anniversary (18 yrs total) and we wanted to do something that was out of the ordinary.

    Now we've been traveling for quite some time now and always look for new things to do when we're on vacation to make it different and fun. Well over the past year we decided to step it up a notch and not only do things that are right here in our back yard (So Cal), but also do things that would challenge us as well as be true life experiences that we would never forget as what it took to accomplish.

    So as I was saying, a couple weeks ago we did one of those life changing WOW moments we would never forget. I would recommend if you're looking for something to really push the limits of what you're truly capable of doing, then I suggest what we did.

    I've got close to 500 pics from this day but here's just a few of the highlights. The wifey and I climbed to the top of Mt. Baldy at an elevation of 10,064 ft. This is the highest mountain point in So Cal. It was a 12 hour 11.3 mile roundtrip loop trail. We went with some great friends Mike + Aubrie, as they took us up on our challenge. Enjoy the pics...



    [image=http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w193/ieffphotoalbum/Temp%20Pics/MT%20Baldy/b16.jpg]
    Here's a teaser pic from the top...7 hours to complete

    [image=http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w193/ieffphotoalbum/Temp%20Pics/MT%20Baldy/b3.jpg]

    What great pics, Mike and Shelia. Just saw these today, and now I understand what Bill was saying about your legs being sore. So cool was that trip. Good job you two.

    Went to Team Leader Training at the Disneyland Hotel for the Disneyland Marathon on Sept 5th. The wifey and I are in charge of 80+ people for the first watering station on the route. The bad news...we gotta be there at 3:45AM to set up. The good news...is that we're the first watering spot so we'll be done by 8:00AM!

    They're remodeling all the rooms at the disneyland Hotel. You'll notice they've taken off the open window balcony and enclosed the rooms all together making it actually bigger

    So Ronnie and I took Mike and Sheila to Vasquez Rocks, which is just a hop, skip and a jump away from where we live. It has a looooong film history and it's always fun to climb the rocks. And watch other people climb the rocks. [face_devil]

    Check out this article which lists a few of the TV shows and movies that have been filmed there.

    I'm sure Mike will post pictures later. :D

    There goes Ronnie. This was the hard and a little scary part. We were about 80% up at this point. The ladies didn't go to the top
