High

It's been quite some time since my last post and it has been quite some time since our last excursion to Mt. High. We arrived fairly early simply because we did not want to make our descent from the mountain with weary senses. With a different group it was something great, remarkable, memorable.

The mountain had just suffered from a storm which left quite a mark on the mountain side. The mountain was littered with snow, inhabited by thrill seekers, and the natives themselves. The weather was definitely harsh, at first it was bearable but throughout the night we buried our hands in snow, resulting in cold hands, gloves served no purpose at this point. I made a joke about walking around shirtless but it seems everybody took it seriously, so might as well, I lasted a measly 15 minutes approximately. The night was filled with pictures to reflect our ascension along the mountain (soon to be posted on Anything You Synthesize).

After our voyage through Mt. High, we made our way back into the Inland Empire and decided to try something new. I don't remember the name but this diner was well-serviced, possibly one of the best waiter's I have ever had. The service was top-notched, and at this time, day, and age, everybody could care less, Francisco (our waiter) seemed to think otherwise. We were greeted with open arms and a waiter who would make sure that what was currently devoured remained at hand.

This was definitely a night to remember and a perfect example that nature can provide all that you need in terms of fun. Half of the population takes nature for granted, just take a step on the ice and your opinion will change instantly, even ask Steve. People always seek thrills yet remain in the areas which are touched by human hands far too often, a simple walk on the beach or in this case, climb up the mountain can run blood through your veins.

On a side note, my expectations on the Vegas trip are high. We managed to get approval for the car. We have armed ourselves accordingly for the task at hand, and we have suffered through too much to make sure such a task would continue on the desired path. The city of Sin provides with too much to overlook, for those that use, "what can you do in Vegas?" as an excuse, I ask you this, "what is new that you have not done in this small 20 mile radius known as Orange County?" If you know of something better than eating some of the best food, the ambiance, the companionship, and all that I have left out, please tell me, it can save me 300 dollars. . .
