Merril has wanted to climb Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the lower 48 states, for quite a while. Months ago he reserved a permit and it was time to hike on October 3rd! The peak of Mt. Whitney is 14,505 feet about sea level. He was a good husband and even took some pictures of the hike!

Merril's friends, Darryl and Ryan, went with him. Darryl is pictured below.
Merril said there were little lakes along the way.
Merril trained well for the hike and said he was hardly sore afterwards. He did comment that his lungs hurt when we got home. I told him he can't ever climb Everest because I can't arrange to air lift him out if things get dicey. But Mt. Whitney is just fine by me. :)
