All right Jumble, you've forced my hand, Mt. Marcy is going up next, but not tonight - too late already. Marcy brings back memories for me too. It was the first hike of any length that I took and also the first peak bagged. I went up with our college outing club. I've loved hiking and mountains ever since. I guess that's why I spend so much time in our San Gabriels. It was also during that hike, or perhaps one soon after that I decided to upgrade from my old 127 rollfilm Kodak to my first 35mm, and soon after that to my first 35 mm reflex. I needed a better way of getting all those great views on film. I've also been hooked on cameras ever since. So my climb up Mt. Marcy was pivotal in two major areas of my life and I guess I hadn't even really thought of it that way till now.
