Ordinary People With Extraordinary Spirits
A regular day hiker conquers the highest peak in mainland USA
My best friend Beth (alias used) is just an ordinary girl next door. Although she exercises regularly and hikes whenever she can, she has never done anything serious in her entire life, not even a backpacking trip before this summer. After she met Rob (alias used), a hardcore mountaineer in North Carolina, she decided to give it a shot to climb Mount Whitney with Rob and his friends. With 14,494 feet elevation, Mount Whitney in California is the highest peak in the 48 contiguous states. When she told me her decision to climb Whitney, I thought she was out of her usually-f$#@ing-smart mind! I really worried that she’s going to kill herself out there considering a) she’s not a rock climber nor an ice climber b) she’s never done a 7 day backpacking trip before and c) she is only a day hiker.
On July 8th, 2005, the boys and the gal took off and started their incredible journey to the summit of Whitney. Well, I am not going to talk too much since Beth came back with these extraordinary photos they took. A picture is worth thousands of words. So check out the rest of the story here.
Here is a photo of our lovely brave couple Beth and Rob when they were on their first date. They are getting married in April the next year!!! Whooohoooo!!! AND I AM THE BRIDESMAID! I can’t wait to eat their wedding cake. 
Anita’s journal of being a Katrina Volunteer in Houston
First time I met Anita was at the Mudd Volleyball. Yes, she is the bikini babe in the Mudd. We then casually hung out afterwards. She is a beautiful fun and smart girl that a lot of guys would probably think she is too good to be true. Especially her party spirit just make you wonder when this girl is ever going to slow down with all the fun she is having.
When Katrina struck New Orleans last week, she couldn’t stand the thoughts of not doing anything. So here she wrote about how she came up with the decision to leave Denver and travel down to Houston to help out.
She finally arrived in Houston and started volunteering for the Red Cross to help the refugees. Check out her first day on job experience and her encounter with a 5 day old baby named Katrina.
Now she is finally back in Colorado and she is still in the state of shock of what she saw down there. Here are her thoughts about the unexplainable experiences on her blog.
My hat’s off to Anita Taylor! You have a big heart!
And yes, she is still single. So to all the qualified bachelors, go ahead, visit her blog site and drop her a note!
