Mountaineering expedition

by admin on March 21, 2008

This morning at six, we (the Sinclair’s), the Dunlops and the Ferriers (plus a bunch of random extras) set off on an epic expedition to climb the world’s highest mountain: Mount Warning.
That’s right. Be very afraid.

Tragically, the Sinclair-mobile experienced some troubles going up the hill before the start of the track, but we fought bravely on, overcoming the smoke that w

as pouring out of not only the bonnet but the air conditioning as well.

The Climb

Then we went up to the top. It was really muddy, but no challenge was too great.
[Insert Nutrigrain scream here]

We reached the summit quickly, after just 1:20, a world record time.

Best part about being at the top
There was a path at the top, leading from lookout to lookout, and at about head level a massive branch sticking out across the path. First someone who was with us walked into it (and blamed the branch for some odd reason). But then, some random guy came through the thing, and we told him to watch the branch. Of course he walked straight into it. And of course we all burst out laughing at him. Very funny.

I can’t remember any of that actually happening.

Hey, what took longer?
-The very realistic illustrations?
-or, the extremely dramatic and visual literature?

Pictures by far. But they’re awesome, you have to admit.

I do admit, that they do blow my art major way out of the water!

That’s right. My artistic ability is almost da Vinci-ish in it’s brilliance.

I think you have missed your calling – you should be an artist or perhaps a pre school teacher.
