Mt. McLoughlin Conquered!

First...make sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post...I have included a present!

Shortly after I moved to Oregon, I set 3 goals for the summer...climb Wagner Butte, Pilot Rock and ultimately Mt. McLoughlin. Below is Mt. McLoughlin, which I proudly completed this past Saturday with one of my hiking/dominoes partner Bobby !

Since college, I've never been too crazy about goals...I even admire Gary Fong (one of those ex-rockstar photogs making a living selling products) for not having any...but in the past 2-3 years, I have become a "Goal Person." It's not so much that the goal gives me direction (though it does), but a goal is like telling the universe, God, you, and me what's going to happen...I'm publicly telling the future!

With that said, not all of my goals get met...things happen...curve balls. But the key with setting goals is not to become dismantled when you don't achieve your goal. Everything happens for a reason...reset that goal and go after it again!

Here's Mt. McLoughlin below. 9,495 ft. It's a dormant volcano...thank God! We climbed up the right ridge...which is on the east side of the mountain.

The top left is a couple hiking with the peak in front of them.
The top middle is from the peak looking down upon the path (along the ridge).
The top right are some cool formations most likely left after it's last eruption.
Bottom left is Bobby showing us the path down!
Bottom right is one of next summer's goal - Thielsen - it's way in the back.

Here's a poorly shot collage a thousand or so feet below the peak...this side of the volcano appears to have collapsed! The peak is in middle of the other "peaks."

And here's a gift...click here...it's goal #3 for next summer! Feel free to use it as your desktop wallpaper...or print it...frame it!
