Sunny but cold!
I did my annual visit of Table Rock in Boise, Idaho. It was a windy and cool day for a hike. For those who don’t know, to summit “The Rock”, you will walk about 1.75 miles up the front of the hill. At times, it’s pretty steep. By the time you reach the top, you have climbed about 900 feet. The first picture is from the bottom in the parking lot. Once you pass this gate, get ready to burn some fat as you climb this moderate hill. You can click on the photos for a larger image. The second photo is from the top. Once you get there, you may think to yourself “This is how it looks from an airplane”. I know I did! This is part of the Boise
Front Trail System. From Table Rock, you can move on to another 10 miles of winding trails if you choose. A couple of years ago I plotted my hike on the GPS, and it can be found on my other website (post to follow) to review. It was a good thing that it was only 60 and windy, because the reflection back from the sandy soil can give you a bit of a sunburn. I may later edit this post to include some video from the 720p HD Camcorder.

Short Video Clip:
Although I am thankful that Vimeo produces a pretty good reproduction of my HD video, the best quality is achieved by going to my Vimeo site (click the HD is off button while playing video) and select “Download WMV”. That will get you much higher resolution. Even easier, click HERE.
