Each year, Tommy and his two best friends from high school, hike one of the highest peaks in each of the states. This year was Wheeler peak in New Mexico. This particular hike was 16 miles round trip with an elevation of 13,000. Last year Tommy got Cryptosporidium right as they set out on their drive. Needless to say Tommy can tell you every gas station stop from here to Arizona and whether or not they have a nice restroom. This year we were joking that he was not allowed to go near any swimming pools a month before the hike. As luck would have it, this year, he ate something that did not sit well and got sick again. Lucky for Tommy he just had to throw up and he felt much better. Here are some pics from the big hike.
Here is Tommy and Mark at the begining of the hike (yeah don't ask)
All three of the guys at the timberline. (tommy told me that I have to write "at the timberline", I don't even know what "at the timberline" means. So don't feel bad if you don't either)
At the summit. Yeah!
**Wierd tradition alert.** They always brush their teeth at the summit. Mark claims that it feels more refreshing at a higher altitude.
And last, Tommy trying to kill his self. Yes, I wouldn't mind the insurance money, but I sure love the guy. Mark and Ryan it is your responsibility to keep this guy in check!!
