I think you all get the jist of this from the previous TLogs.. This really made me wonder whatt he hell is wrong with me to want to put myself thru this.. but in the end its always worth it..

And yes i did stop a couple miles and 1100 ft short of the summit, my legs simply couldnt take another step uphill... NOt to mention the only water i had was toilet scum from te bathroom, and there was a nice sunny, dry spot right off the trail that was yelling "Berk, stop here, take a nap" it was the best 1 hour nap on the side of a mountain with people walking by ever!!!! (I adjusted mileage, aeg, and time somewhat accordingly..)

Great group of die-hards, still amazed you all out hiked me like it was nothing... Guess ill have to start my Joe Bartels training program..( Squaw peak 8 times over, daily..) hahahah right...

Very much looking forward to next time Bob, i will make the summit next time for sure!!!
