Upper Valley Pilates and Physical Therapy: 3 Days on Mt. Shasta!
http://uvppt.blogspot.com/2011/06/3-days-on-mt-shasta.html
Thursday, June 23, 2011. 3 Days on Mt. Shasta! Tuesday morning started with a 1 hour climb to Horse Camp, a quick lunch, then off to another 3 hour hike in to Hidden Valley (9400') where 34 climbers, 15 guides and several Breast Cancer Fund staffers set up base camp for the Wednesday morning climb. So here's the good news! I did more than I ever knew I could - 12,500' is pretty damn high! And I feel great now-the old body held up very well. From Bunny Flat trailhead. Dane, our guide. Lunch at Horse Camp.

Upper Valley Pilates and Physical Therapy: First Day in Mt. Shasta, CA.
http://uvppt.blogspot.com/2011/06/first-day-in-mt-shasta-ca.html
Saturday, June 18, 2011. First Day in Mt. Shasta, CA. Our travels took nearly 20 hours with a stopover in the lovely Las Vegas airport where we watched the strip from afa. R and the gamblers up close (yes, slot machines in the airport). Lots of cranky people from the first moment we checked our bags today. Glad to be done with it for a while. Finally, the mountain loomed directly ahead of us! This morning the mountain is EVERYWHERE! Stopped by the Fifth Season, the one and only outfitter in town, where w...

Upper Valley Pilates and Physical Therapy: Hike to Horse Camp
http://uvppt.blogspot.com/2011/06/hike-to-horse-camp.html
Sunday, June 19, 2011. Hike to Horse Camp. We set off today from Bunny Flat trailhead to Horse Camp, a vertical gain of about 1000', ending at nearly 8000'. The Sierra Club built the hut at Horse Camp in 1923! The hut is a spot to stop and rest, fill water bottles with safe, spring water and generally schmooze the climbers who stop by on their way up or down the mountain. We realized today that we need to prioritize food, water and sunscreen access at all times! Let the festivities begin! Heading up to H...

Upper Valley Pilates and Physical Therapy: The Breast Cancer Fund Climb Against the Odds 2011 Officially Begins!
http://uvppt.blogspot.com/2011/06/breast-cancer-fund-climb-against-odds.html
Monday, June 20, 2011. The Breast Cancer Fund Climb Against the Odds 2011 Officially Begins! I imagined sleeping in this morning - our 'chalet' is so quiet and comfy. Unfortunately my excitement is getting the best of me and I was up at 6:30, READY TO ROLL! We attempted to circumnavigate Lake Siskiyou, about 7.5miles. But a missing footbridge stopped our forward progress, and despite trying to bushwhack, we turned around and just savored the return. All told 7.5 miles anyway. Looking like a hiker girl.
