Beautiful story. Hearing about motivational events in others' lives is a pick-me-up. Although brief, this is worthy of a feature page trip report. You have a beautiful primary image with that axe on the summit. Maybe just rename it a TR? I throw that out because it would undoubtedly get more attention than in the albums section. The expression of your sentiments deserves a wider reading.
Thanks for the comments! I was thinking of changing it, just a bit lazy. I would like to add some more to the experience, espcially favorite mountains, moments, and not so favorite. Check back it a bit. thanks again, ryan
I also have a goal of 100 HPS peaks, I am hoping to get my 100th before the end of the year, but I need to get hiking. I think I am at 88 or something.
Keep up the pace. I could have finished almost two years ago, but life gets in the way sometimes. Also I found it hard to keep to HPS peaks, I get inspired to hike so many peaks that aren't on that list. Also I always find new favorites and want to do repeat hikes. One day I'll do another hundred but first there are a couple of other golas I want to reach. Have fun and thanks for checking out the page.
If I lived down there (grew up in the San Fernando Valley), I would definitely be interested in the HPS peaks as I am one who loves to have goals and lists help keep me motivated. I discovered county highpoints and prominence peaks to keep my passion fueled and this is why I enjoyed your report so much, I see in you a kindred spirit. BTW, the pic with the ice axe is stellar.
Thanks Dean , that means a lot to me. I envy all the work you have done, especially on the prominence lists. The funny thing with that picture is I couldn't view my shot screen, so I was just hoping it would look right. On to other lists, I won't be finishing HPS for awhile and besides there are so many other great lists out there. I think I have ADD when it comes to peakbagging.
