Hiking up Mission Peak in Fremont, CA, numerous times between April-May 2005 in order to train for Mt. Shasta. Most of these hikes would be with Wendy, who is a lot of fun, and a loaded pack (usually 32 lbs., but later on, 42 lbs.) Click here for photos.

Wendy at the top on a beautiful spring day. This was before she was loading up her pack with things like bottles of champagne.

On this Saturday I went up with Adrian, Evelyn, and Sharon, with no pack. Here's a hangglider dude coming down for a landing with Evelyn looking on.

The hangglider dude lands safely. It was fascinating to watch.
