exploring like Magellan

CJ and AUD explore Nevada, 2011.

On one of my days off, we decided to explore what the area had to offer.
We wanted to check out Walker Lake and CJ also really wanted to climb a mountain (preferably Mt Grant).


Us all decked out in hiking gear. We would be so cute as Columbia models.


A view of Walker Lake.


Dirt and dirt. Welcome to Nevada!


The mountain we chose to climb. Can you spot CJ?

Look at him go!


...almost to the top!!


Alas! He finally reached the top!

Here are a few of the pictures CJ took when he got to the top of the mountain...



And it wouldn't be a proper blog if there wasn't a corny metaphor to life..
Life is similar to climbing a mountain. 
You can either be scared or lazy & wait at the bottom of the mountain (like me on this day, unfortunately) or you can work hard to reach the top.
The best part is that when you reach the top, what you find is something that no one could have imagined and you realize that your climb was worth it.
