Traverse Mountain: For the past few Saturdays this has been my challenge. First I ran to the top and back (about 8 miles or so) and the next Saturday, my buddy, Tim, took me up the top by riding our bikes and then once on top we rode trail after trail. It was beautiful but I was dang tired (and sore) after the 3+ hour trek. I wonder how long we will be able to enjoy such beautiful country.
