To Infinity and Beyond! Half Dome 2010!!!

There is Jared on the right side in the shorts and tan shirt after an 8 hour hike up... almost straight up.
If you look closely to the right of the man in the white shirt you will see the cables with tiny people climbing...straight up!!! Jared did this!!!
WHEW!!! He made it to the top and is relaxing his cramping legs! Good job honey!! BEAUTIFUL!!!LOVE THIS PICTURE. IT IS MY SCREENSAVER NOW! On the path to the top... Sarah and Dad. Sarah"s kids had a babysitter for the day! Notice the ankle brace on Dad. He had a knee brace too!
THANKS SPENCER FOR TAKING JARED AND SARAH ON A DREAM TRIP!

This morning Jared met Sarah and Spencer in Planada at 4:30 am and drove to Yosemite National Park to hike Half Dome... at an elevatiobn of 4800 ft and a 13 hour hike up, into the top of the mountains. I was really skeptical of him going, especially since he did no preparatroy hikes, his age, and his health. In fact, I think my fears edged him on to the point he wanted to prove he could do it! YOU WIN HONEY! YOU CONQUERED THE BEAST! I am proud of you! Thanks to Spencer and Sarah for going with him... I do not have any desire to spend that many hours climbing up to that elevation... I will enjoy the pictures and perhaps hike to one of the lower falls. Jared says there is no way I could make it to the top.Is that a challenge??? Nope.... I do not want the challenge. I will enjoy the beautiful pictures. He limped in the house at 10:30 pm, said he felt like he was going to throw up, took a shower , and collapsed into his bed with extra strength tylenol. We'll see if he makes it to work tomorrow.I will use one of the pictures as my screen saver. Enjoy!
