Mountain Men

Tally Ho Gorgers,

Recently my Dad, Grandpa and I tackled the Natural Bridge state park climb. It was a tough slog and I wasn't really motivated in the beginning (rather I was motivated to be carried up the hill rather than hike under my own steam) but after a few brief setbacks we were on our way and I am happy to report that we made it to the top. This is the second time I have reached the summit of the Natural Bridge. Anyway, here is the photo evidence. There aren't a lot of pictures of the way up (group moral was at a low point during the ascent), but you know what they say, it isn't about all the little moments leading to the summit, it's just about the summit itself. Luckily all the moments leading from the summit to the parking lot aren't all that important either because they were even less pretty than the ones on the way up. No worries though, I'm sure my next trip up to the Natural Bridge will be smooth sailing. Third time is the charm!
