Dozen hikes

Today, Jane and I make our 12th hike up Stone Mountain.  We set ourselves a goal of hiking up the mountain 100 times by the end of the year.  We had 7 when we started the year, but were stopped by icy conditions from getting started in early January.  In the last two weeks we’ve been up 5 more times.

It’s a good hike.  Pretty difficult at times, with some slopes that require handrails for safety.  But it’s close to home, and we generally can finish in a little bit more than an hour.  When we first started hiking the mountain it took two hours, so it’s fun to see the progress already :-).
