The Incline






Well, I have now made it to the top of the INCLINE twice. My goal was to make it up by next summer but I was determined. I loved it both times. If I could I think I would do it every weekend. The incline is a mile of old railroad ties which goes up the side of a mountain. The incline grade varies from a 41% to 68%. It is in total about 2,800 ties. In other words it is crazy! Very challenging but so worth every wanting to puke moment. Marci and I did it about 1 month ago and then Nick and I did it a couple of weeks ago. Don't worry, we dont take all of the steps back down. There is a beautiful 4 mile trail of switchbacks that takes you back down.
