Times may have changed, but the human spirit has not.
Men, womend and children of all ages and all walks (hikes) of life. Cancer survivors, amputees, "bypassers" have done what those three fishermen from Lone Pine, Charles Begole, A. H. Johnson, and John Luca on August 18, 1873, had done. Let's not forget the first women, Miss Anna Mills (later, Mrs. Johnston), Miss Hope Broughton, Miss Mary Martin, and Mrs. Redd, on August 3, 1878. Failure was not an option.
By now many of you have received your ticket to the top. For some, your first; for others, your "umpteenthty." Another season is upon us.
When you reach the top, you are in good company! You earned it.
Michael Jordan said: "Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try."
