...................


I think all of us at some point in our lives would like to try a feat or have a goal that might be different than anyone else has done or very few have done. Something you can look back on later and be proud of achieving or at least be proud of trying to accomplish. To others the feat or goal might not seem that different, or that unusual, but to us it would be important regardless. If we feel strongly enough about doing something like this I feel it is just as important that we try to do it and not let it be one of those "some day I'll do this" things even if we aren't successful at accomplishing it.

The following journal documents a feat/goal that Ruth and I had in mind and the resulting trip to try and accomplish it that is an example of what I'm speaking of.
