			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My weekend was planned to the tee, a flight to UK, or a drive to Olympia, or a drive to Vancouver.  The flight was never 100% confirmed, the drive to Olympia had a higher chance, and the drive to Vancouver was &#8220;just in case&#8221; all else failed.  Of course, I did have a 4th and 6th plan if even THOSE above things did not happen (say I didn&#8217;t want to drive&#8230;).  What happened to the 5th plan?  I did not feel like spending the cash <img src='http://blog.simpletofind.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>My 4th plan was being invited to a bon fire.  The 6th plan involved going out with friends and really just relaxing.  I ended up combining the 4th and 6th plan together, bon fire, say hi to friends, and run off to meet my other friends.</p>
<p>Sunday was really unexpected.  A mountain hike!  Yes, I got up Sunday morning at 7:30AM to hike a mountain.  It was not a really high mountain at all, but going up 3000ft still took some time.  I took my broken camera and did manage to grab some snapshots (and patiently did not throw my camera off the cliff).  Since that lil car mishap, my cam has been &#8220;loading&#8230;&#8221; way too often, and if not loading, it&#8217;s forgetting to save my pictures.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://blog.simpletofind.ca/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/img_4142.thumbnail.jpg" alt="midwaylookout" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Midway break, what an amazing view!</p>
<p></a></p>
<p>I had a great view of the lake and my car!  Not sure I would be able to do much if I saw it getting broken into, but it was neat to see it in the distance.</p>
<p>After all that hiking, I made it to the top of the hill.  I won&#8217;t call it a mountain, Mt Rainier is a mountain, this is just a little hill.  My goal was reached and I enjoyed the view.  It was a very sharp drop, I tried to ignore the fact I was standing on ice and it was windy.  I had my picture taken and you really can&#8217;t see me scared as hell.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://blog.simpletofind.ca/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/img_4152.thumbnail.jpg" alt="King of the hill" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">At least it does not look too faked&#8230;</p>
<p></a></p>
<p>After the climb down, I got a great shot of the peak where I was standing.  It was a major detour from where I parked, but I could not leave without getting a picture of my feat.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://blog.simpletofind.ca/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/img_4157.jpg" title="The view…from the bottom"><img src="http://blog.simpletofind.ca/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/img_4157.thumbnail.jpg" alt="The view…from the bottom" /></a></p>
<p align="center">I was *on* that cliff!</p>
<p>The pictures from my camera do not give this climb justice.  The view, the height, was just incredible.  Oh well, my next climb is going to be Mt. Rainier&#8217;s basecamp Muir.  I guess I&#8217;ll have to invest in proper gear, but I know I am going to do it within 60 days.  Guarenteed.  Or it&#8217;s free.</p>
