I made it!

Marcy Posts: 41 Joined: 2002/05/30	2002/11/12, 08:45 AM Hey Everyone, Well I finally got to climb the Peaks of Otter, in VA. My Husband and I made it to the summit in 50 mins and made it back down in 30 min. We stopped to watch a doe (deer) on our way back down and we only stoped 2 times on the way up for me to take some pictures. I can't wait to do it again next time and maybe we will make it in 45 mins. or less. ---------------------------- Never try to be better than anyone else, just try to be better than yourself!

Where is the Peaks of Otter located near? :) Melissa -------------- Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.

Anyway, the Peaks are 3865 ft above sea level and if you would like to know more about where they are and stuff you can go to www.peaksofotter.com and click on the History icon or the FAQ's icon. I know it isn't as high as 12,450 ft but it is still quite a challenging climb. Most of it seems like it is straight up. But you don't need rock climbing gear. I also greatly encourage anyone who enjoys this kind of stuff that is in the area to GO FOR IT! It is alot of FUN! Gotta go for now. Take Care. -------------- Never try to be better than anyone else, just try to be better than yourself! Marcy Ann
