I live in Western Washington State and I was driving to my sister's house the other day and saw Mt Rainier in all its glory and do you know what I thought?? I thought, "I should climb that" !!!!
What?? I have NEVER had any desire to climb a mountain...but for some reason, I do now. maybe because I feel like I could do anything right now?? I don't know. But it really seems like something I could do one day in the not so distant future. In fact, I am looking in to what I need to do to train for a climb like that...and there's a 50 mile hike I'd like to do around the base of another local mountain. One day, one day...lol
I just feel really empowered lately and climbing a 14,000+ foot peak seems not so impossible...lol. I thnk I'm going mad...rofl.
It's just strange to me that I thought that and didn't say, "you're crazy. You can't do that"...I guess my self-confidence is back! :o) woo hoo!
So anyone else have these kinds of thoughts or aspirations??

Anyway, this thread makes me seriously consider driving up to Seattle for a weekend...if only gas wasn't so expensive! Enjoy your time in Seattle.

Yes, you are fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest (at least until the rains come and seemingly never go away...personally, I never got use to that but the summertime more than makes up for it). And as I said earlier, we kept our home in Washington and lease it out for part of the year, so we still have a home to come **home** too for summer then we don't leave until after Bumbershoot! Since I get to take my work with me, so it's not really ALL playing but a lot of it is.

All perfectly understandable.....the traffic there has ALWAYS been a sticking point! And I'll have to admit, I haven't paid much attention to how the universities are playing lately.
