83-year-old ex-Marine to scale Mount Whitney in campaign against Feinstein.

Taken from the Mercury News (http://www.mercurynews.com/california/ci_20656919/83-year-old-ex-marine-scale-mt-whitney?source=rss)

Wonder if he will give us a trip report. Perhaps comment on the condition of the switch backs:-)

Hummm, probably not. I don not see him on the calendar.

With all due respect to the author, and this coming from a 22 year retired Marine.....there is NO such thing as an "ex Marine"......Semper Fi.

From the article I believe they will go to Outpost camp Tuesday (tomorrow), and head for the top on Wed.
