Climbing Dix -
"g" takes his heart out for a test drive (9/14/03)

"g" heading up the slide on Dix

When The Hat and "g" pulled up in front of the Dix trail head (Adirondacks Mts.),"g" figured it was about time to give him the 'ol talk. "You know... I'm not expecting any problems.... but in case my heart acts up... my Nitro Pills are in my first aide kit."

Well... this started the trip on a great note for The Hat. "Great," he thought, "I've got to drag this 200-lb guy off of Dix? Hell no. I'll just throw some leaves over him and tell his wife he fell off the summit somewhere!"

Hey... the bottom line? The Hat and "g" cruised 6.8-miles to the summit in 4-hrs/15-min. "g" barely broke a sweat and The Hat never had to look for his Nitro. It was a successful proving ground for the "g"-Force Health Team.
