TEAM > Half Dome baby!
Wooooohooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man... what an ordeal! I can finally cross off "Hike Half Dome in 1 day" from my list of goals!
But before I go any further, there's absolutely NO WAY I could have made it without the support and encouragement of the people I went with: Heidi, Joe, May, Mel, and Mo - if you guys ever read this, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
We truly epitomized a team - when one of us struggled (generally me and my horrendously out-of-shape self), the others were quick in supporting that person, whether through encouraging/motivational words or physical aid. At one point, poor Joe had to carry my backpack (BEAR BELL and all! ...sorry, inside joke) most of the way up to Half Dome!
Truly a living example of bearing another's burdens! Guys, I seriously <3 you all! Praise the Lord for watching over and sustaining us! =D
Pictures are on the way!

Hey E!
I'm not gonna lie... the hike is no joke! But unless you're deathly afraid of heights (I'm pretty bad myself), anyone can do this hike if they have the will!
Training helps of course, but you don't need it... I didn't train, and if my overweight, out-of-shape self can do it, anyone can! =)
See ya Sunday!

As always, the great Steve Lee does an awesome job photographing. Nice job on the sat. Trees are nice.
I shall hike half dome someday.
I like the picture of the squirrels looking for their nuts. Good job Steve.
