MQ 2013 - Two: Pratt Mountain

For some reason I seem to choose late October to hike Pratt Mountain each year:

  • 2011 - Tuesday October 25th
  • 2012 - Saturday October 27th
  • 2013 - Sunday October 27th
Today it was a windy day, dry and cold. It was partly cloudy, but the sun snuck in just enough times to make the hike better.

PS3 & GTA:V

After several weeks of thought, much convincing by old coworkers & friends, and a $100 Visa gift card that expires on Halloween, I finally bought the PlayStation 3 bundle that includes "Grand Theft Auto: V". I'll be able to watch movies again on the DVD player, and I'll be able to play live games with several members of my Burlington chums and my brothers & nephews. I also snagged "LEGO: Marvel Super Heroes"...

MQ 2013 - One: Crow Hills

I hiked Crow Hills today, for 2013's first Mountain Quest.

It was sunny and dry in the low 60's, and from 4:40 pm to 6:45 pm I worked my way up to and back from the cliffs (which I did not scale this trip). I took a lot of photos, and set up a couple of "Lost Jedi" shots (which mostly came out blurry or horrible) as well. I had a couple of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for my mid-trek snack, drank a half liter of water, and listened to Cuushe and Sansyou on the way down. A good hike, even though there was no summit view.
