Oh yeah, one other thing I forgot to mention before…
As I got further and further, the mountains got bigger and bigger. I was looking at some of the particularly large ones, pondering their size. Then I realized, none of these even had peaks above the treeline. So those monsters were smaller than the mountain I'll be climbing this weekend. (Which I haven't seen yet as it was dark and snowing fairly heavily when I arrived.)
What did I get myself into? *laugh*
