: Man what can I say this last weekend
: was awesome. It started with an
: idea Simon from Calvary Revival had.
: Idea was simple, bunch of brothers
: in Christ would hike to Dry Lake on
: Saturday and summit San Gorgonio on
: Sunday. Only they needed a brother
: in Christ to lead them. That's
: where our very own Doogieman came
: in. Doogieman is not a guide but
: let me say I've paid many guides to
: lead me in the mountains and Doogie
: kick's their butt. So when Doogie
: asked me to come along and help him
: guide them I was stoked, and
: honored. Leading fellow christian
: brothers in the mountains I wasn't
: going to pass this up. We thought
: 8ish would be a good start time so I
: got to the South Fork TH at 8am. I
: ended up waiting till 9am and when
: nobody showed up I headed to the
: lake by myself, thinking was it the
: 19th or the 20th I was supposed to
: hook up with these dudes??? Got to
: the Lake and the only one there was
: Mike from this site. Talked to Mike
: for a few minutes, Mike hope to see
: you this winter in the backcountry.
: After I set up camp I was thinking
: I'm here might as well summit.
: Ended up summiting around 4pm. Took
: some pictures left a log then headed
: back for the lake. When I got to
: camp there was nobody there,
: Bummer...Needed some water, btw
: Lodgepole has water but need a
: filter. On the way over ran into
: Doogie yaa....Moved my tent over to
: lodgepole and it was like Everest
: Base camp. Never seen so many
: people at Dry Lake. It made Trail
: Camp Whitney seem empty. Anyways
: great night we sang worship songs,
: prayed, told stories and had
: communion. Doogie was thinking no
: way I would summit again with the
: group and I was thinking I didn't
: want to summit again but I was
: having so much fun with these
: brothers I was like yea why not. We
: set off at 5am in the morning and
: ended up summiting around 10am. Not
: bad time for the big group we had.
: Happy to report no injuries on the
: way down except for some
: blisters....Got back to the TH
: around 3:30 and had chips and salsa
: with some of the bros. Great time,
: like always, in the San Gorgonio
: Wilderness. Doogie it was great
: climbing with you again, Simon
: thanks for putting this together,
: Fernando man keep in touch. Pastor
: Tim hope to come out to your church
: one of these days...Ben thanks for
: the music man you rock!
