MT. Nebo

Today Cordell and I were up for a 16 mile mountain climb.
That peak I am pointing at is the desination, at just over 11,000ft.
We made it to the base of that peak and my knee was giving me problems, but I was pushing it.
And as we were taking a rest ready do to the last 1/2 mile to the top, a storm was brewing, and
some lightening struck!
We decided to get the heck outta there instead. My knee pain was gone for that next couple miles as we ran down the ridge to get off the top. Soon the clouds were gone, WTF?
Mother nature hates the 2 of us is all we can come up with. This is the second trip she ruined.

Sound's like mother nature was F'ing with you. She can be like that. All to often you hear about people who try to defy her and end up in a bad situation. Running away from her might not be such a bad choice, you never know.
