Jewel Mountain 09/14/07
So John and I took a trip up Jewel Mountain in the Crow Pass area of the Chugach Range and he has already posted up his pictures. I figured that I would post up mine as well and give my side of the hike!
Hiking with John can invovle two different trains of thought. If he is leading usually my brain is saying "His legs are so long! I'm taking two steps for every one of his!" or "Great! He can keep up at whatever pace I throw down." It is also nice that he never minds me stopping to take out my camera for pictures, have the time I would turn around to tell him I was going to take a picture and he had already stopped to take one!

We started the drive down towards Girdwood and got pulled over by a ridiculous State Trooper. I mean the charge was just dumb!! But we didn't let that hamper our fun and we made good time to the mountains base. After a short discussion we decided to forgo chosing the easiest route and went right up the side to the ridge. Seemed like a fun idea! Also it was funny because John is really loving his camera and he looked through it and zoomed in and jokingly said "Oh look theres a goat." Then he paused and said "Wait...there really is a goat! Sweet! I zoomed in direct center on one by accident!" if he needed anything to make him feel better about his camera I think he got it that moment.
