I was sending out some random emails tonight and came across some pictures of me in the army in 1972. I'm going to go ahead and post it today even though it was 37 years ago. No one will probably ever read my blog back to the beginning and I doubt they'd go back that far.
These are a couple of pictures of us stopping on the way up and resting. I'd gone to Japan while I was stationed in Korea on the demilitarized zone. My best friend John Bradley and I had decided to make the climb of the 14,000 foot peak.
And then after we had climbed all day long, we stopped and spent the night at the 13,000 foot level and got up early to finish the climb to the top of the crater and watch the sunrise. By the time the sun did come up, the clouds had moved in off the ocean and we were so high that we were above the clouds. When John took the picture of me we didn't realize that it would come back looking like I was standing on top of the clouds. I guess for a moment I was super man!
