Half Dome, here I come!

I have been married to Sean for nine years and every year his family would go camping in Yosemite. We always hiked with his family and in the beginning I hated it. I couldn't understand that people do this for fun! But, nine splendid years later, I am finally ready to head up to the beast of Half Dome which is a 17 mile hike all up hill and with cables! Sean has gone and loved it, so I am going to go with a couple of ladies I met a couple of years ago in Park City. I am not really nervous. I feel like I will be able to do it, but that whole cable thing, I feel a little sick about. I just hope I am alive to tell the tale! Can't wait to spend the day in nature and hopefully get some much needed pondering and alone time. Solitude is what I seek! Solitude with a lot of steps! What do they say?? The joy is in the journey! Here's hoping!!

Half Dome is a granite dome in Yosemite National Park, located in northeastern Mariposa County, California, at the eastern end of Yosemite Valley — possibly Yosemite's most familiar rock formation. The granite crest rises more than 4,737 ft (1,444 m) above the valley floor.
