Table Mountain Saga

On the weekend of September 18th, four young souls took off towards Table Mountain...

One girl in black was still in the process of finishing her muffin but all were eager to start the hike

Blooming flowers of Kirstenboch got them off the ground

Only flowers could Washington's chess champion excited enough to hike Table Mountain whilst fasting for Yom Kippur

Some of the adventurers expected domination of Table Mountain to be an easy feat

Finding the trail proved to be harder than expected...

Skeleton Gorge brought upon a steep waterfall climb and agonized the hungry Seattle screenplay writer

Sweat build-up after the first 30 minutes got two out of the three adventurers pumped for more. Chess champion was  not so excited about the lack of food in his stomach.

Out of no where the four musketeers came upon a beach...

Slightly dismayed by the blood red color three of the four tested the waters... 

Doggies looked on with worry...

Rest assured the adventurers conquered the rock set in the middle of the random lake set along the hike to the top of Table Mountain

Zoolander faces were beckoned to add strength at the three hour mark

Twenty minute later only water and a break to take pictures could keep them going

Portland's journalist clung on to the fact that he had conquered the lake behind him

Montana's future food critic held onto the good view

Vermont's small town girl held on to the fact that it only took twenty minutes to make it from the four way crossing

Four and half hours later the adventurers made it to the the top

The mood was slightly dampened when it was discovered that little furry creatures had reached the same elevation 

Still one was left overly enthused

The views made the day well worth it and left the four adventurers happy, exhausted, and extremely hungry.
