We Did It!
Could we do it? That question nagged at Tia and me in the days leading up to our hike on the Israel Trail. We were facing a 500 meter ascent and descent of Mount Tabor. On a trail that goes mostly straight up, and then straight down. It was just the second hike of our second season, but rated the most difficult one we would do this year (2.5 on a scale of 3, or 4.3 on a scale of 5).
