Well, some say it's good to kill 2 birds with one stone.

I just got 3 at once!
* My & DS's camping gear has all been brought up from my basement/down from our bedrooms/up&down likewise from DM's collected gear where she had items we needed;

* My legs have been thoroughly worked out so the muscles can be getting primed for the backpacking on the AT; and...

* Stromboli MISSED me!!! That mount is finis!!!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Hello again everyone... I'm back!! At least I hope I am! Not sure how often I'll be able to post but I'm gonna start counting again.
Afraid I totally stopped counting... just didn't have the right mindset, but I can tell you all that at hub's hospital there were stairs galore. He was on the 6th floor (which is the 7th in the USA) and the bar/shop was on the second level below ground. I reckon I could've climbed Everest again, but truth is, I took the lift (elevator) nearly the whole time. What a waste!

I see you've all been having fun and fireworks while I've been away. Congrats to the Stromboli climbers! And congrats to all other success stories too.

Now where was I? Oh yes... on Mars! Gonna start counting again as of right now!

Welcome back Sally!!! I hope everything is getting a little brighter in your world.

In other news... I finally finished climbing "CN TOWER, TORONTO, CANADA @ 3,500 steps / 233 flights!!!

I have 12 flights to add so I'm putting 1 towards CN TOWER to finish it off and I'm going to put the remaining 11 flights towards PETRONAS TWIN TOWERS, MALAYSIA - 2,860 Steps / 190 Flights.. So with that said.. I now have 179 Flight to go!

I can only hope it doesn't take me near as long to finish this climb as the last one did! I need to find the motivation you all show here..

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Congrats on finishing CN, Sassy Seems like towers can be lots of fun!


I know, that one doesn't count. I'm headed to the mountains in less than a week with this, for real, too (well over 50# -the pack & contents plus attachments)(will be lighter than in this dry run pic, LOL):


Gonna be out of touch a lot this week - good luck on your climbs, sally, jimmie 48, Georgiana and all!!!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Thanks Sally, Jo & Susan for the congrats on getting the CN Towers done ~phew~

Climbing may be fun for some Susan.. but it's really not my thing.. however I am trying and that's why I am happy I joined this challenge.

Sally.. I'm very happy to hear things are getting better!

I hope everyone has a great week!!


9 flights to add = 170 Flight to go!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

jack is at work but i wanted to tell you that he finished HASSAN II MOSQUE
yesterday. he's been shorting himself on flights for quite awhile. since i've been working at the same place, i'm able to keep better tabs on his steps.



he's off to MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY now.
