Monday, October 3, 2001, was a gorgeous day. I decided to hike Mt. Olmypus. Since my return to the Salt Lake valley less than 2 months ago, I had wanted to climb that mountain. My last encounter with that hike was over 10 years ago with my father and 2 sisters. It was a trek! I pride myself on being a seasoned hiker and knew I could do it without much difficulty. I did climb to the top, but it was a challenge. My legs are still sore.
As I was making my way down, the sun radiated and I could feel the heat the last hour of my decsent. I even got some color. It was hot! Coming from Seattle, this amount of sunlight wasn't something I was used to, but I welcomed it like an old friend. Sadly, this old friend didn't stay long. In fact, just 3 days later, it snowed! Summer is officially over. Hot then cold; the story of our lives.
