            Tell Jack "Well done!" Jimmie!! I love the way he gets those climbs done so very steadily.

            Carole... Nice lot of red on that list of yours. Congrats on all those towers, bridges and buildings climbed!

            I'm still on Mars.... and can't wait to get back to good ol' Earth! Going a little faster these days using my aerobic stepper again as I'm still still still struggling with those few extra holiday pounds... oh my! And it's March already!

                  Well how very funny you should say that jimmie... I was wondering just the other day if I had the guts to do Everest all over again! Great minds think alike!!
                  Not at all sure I could manage it though, mentally more than anything...

                    yeah, that was me. i KNOW we could do it but that was a very long haul and so far as i am concerned, i'm not counting up as many as i did then so i'm not sure that's what i want to do. i sure don't want to do 200 flights in one day again. that about killed me! on the other hand, wouldn't it be grand to tackle that bad boy again and be the first second timers?

                    something to think about.

                      Oh yes... I remember the day you did a simply killing amount of flights!!! We were quite worried about your overdoing it before you actually did them as you were really pushing hard to finish up. What a conquest though!!

                      Like you, I'm going slower than back then. Work interferes too now... but like you say it would be cool to be second timers. Might take me years though!!

                      We'll have to mull it over and see if we get inspired in the days to come.

                              carole, if you go back to the very first post of the challenge, you will see other links that lead you to more sets of buildings, towers/masts/chimneys and mountains. you won't soon run out of things to climb, trust me.
