Pinnacle Mountain

so.....Justin called me yesterday and said "let's go to Pinnacle Mountain!" And I said "to do what?" And he says "Let's climb the trail" and I say "ok!"

OH man......little did I know. Doug and I threw on some good shoes and followed about 8 college students into the trail. We finally get to the mountain after about 20 minutes of walking....I look up and I say "SERIOUSLY???????" There is no trail. Just lots of BIG rocks and boulders. Some of the rocks have big red dots on it so you know where to go. They were huge. I was having to climb up them. Well it took Doug and I about an hour to climb all those rocks. It was scary and HARD! My knees took a beating. They are completely bruised up. I almost wanted to give up but I made it -- to the freaking top!!!!! It was AMAZING! I have never been at the top of a mountain like that before! After getting to the top....I thought "duh...I forgot my camera!" Oh well, whip out the phone and snap a few.

So the way down was worse -for me. It was supposedly the easy side. And it was. Mainly steps going all the way up/down. Nothing to climb. Nothing to kill your knees on. Lots of families going up that side. We killed ourselves going up the hard part and the way down was all cleared off. I was having such a hard time going back down....my knees were like jello ... they were so wobbly!! I had to keep taking breaks on the way down. How funny!

I made it to the top of Pinnacle Mountain!!!
