The Eagle Has Landed, We're Here!

While the weather down South has been pleasantly delightful all summer, we were greeted upon arrival in Mammoth to actually cool temperatures and a strong breeze! Our drive north was a breeze too, thankfully, and we've all made it safely through our first run.

Tradition had to be scrapped however. For 10 years, our traditional first run has been to take the very scenic Mammoth Rock Trail that overlooks the village and the valley, the White Mountain range off in the distance.

Some ominous storm clouds have been brewing over the Sierra's since we arrived, and since they seem to have congregated for a meeting over the trail, we decided to avoid potential lightening, and opted for an easy run through town. True to Mammoth form, we spotted no less than four other high school teams getting their run in as well. We'll get the Mammoth Rock trail in tomorrow evening.

So it's off to a good start. Ham and baked potatoes are cooking up and dinner's callin'!
