Title: Mt. Adams nect weekend
Post by: jackelope on July 11, 2012, 09:10:03 PM: Next weekend a friend and I are headed to Mt. Adams. Hope to make it to the summit after spending the night at the lunch counter. Pretty excited...been working out and feel I'm in the best shape I've been in in a while. I haven't been able to get out and excersize this week because my wife is out of town for work all week so I'm playing Mr. Mom. Been waiting till the kid goes to bed then put my pack on with about 60 pounds in it and get on the elliptical for an hour. I think we've got everything lined up pretty well but if anyone's got any input or advice I'm all ears.

Also, get there real early to get a parking spot. It can almost double your hiking distance if you are late on a busy weekend. ;)

But most of all have fun and take lots of pics. :tup:
