So did my mom and sister! Is Miami your alma mater as well? I'll always remember trash talking the impending dominance of Virginia Tech over Miami in the 1997 football game, shortly before being served a slice of humble pie. :-) Of course, a university is measured by more than just its football program, or is it? Just kidding! Thanks for reading
Yep, I did. Sounds like you're the black sheep of the family. We had a good run in the late 90s...gave Northwestern their only regular season loss in their Rose Bowl year.
Haha, short of wearing camo we managed to be fairly stealthy with camping, although I believe we were perfectly legal. I've heard horror stories of rangers going bezerk when they see a hiker on the road. (I've also been treated like a second-class citizen and asked to leave the summit house as a hiker because "A train is coming!!") Amazingly, we saw dozens of people hiking on or running down the road within 3 miles from the summit without being reprimanded. Is the enforcement getting soft?
