September 1st, 2014: Labor Day hike to Wheeler Peak!

Mike always wanted to take me to Wheeler Peak, the highest peak in New Mexico, and this year we summited the top with Sam! The altitude, plus my extra weight and bad knees made it difficult for me, but I'm so glad I had this fun experience with Mike and Sam :-).
