Vindication at 14,246 feet
Last year I tried for White Mountain Peak - at 14,246 feet the easiest 14er in California - and turned around just shy of the summit due to a thunderstorm. At least that was better than 2003 when I didn't even make it to the campground but was forced to turn around when my water pump failed going up the road.
This year, finally, I attained the summit. All the details - including just how clear and copious I was - at the link.

BTW you missed a fine PIIPP. Childish in the extreme. And it has morphed: when I first saw it, the headline was This family smashes that stereotype, and now it is being published as Eager to make it in America.
