We just finished signing a multi-year contract with the Fox Reality channel for our new web series “Half Dome or Bust.” We never thought being so daring, funny and handsome would get us this far (well, two out of three ain’t bad), so stay tuned as the first episode “Head West Young Man” airs soon.

Warning for hikers

As we head off into the great unknown (okay, honestly now) – As we head off, with scads of other tourists/hikers, to the great Yosemite National Park, we are excited to see and experience its beauty. We plan to tackle Half Dome first and then enjoy some other locations within the park before heading off to San Fransisco for the weekend. Check back as we update the blog through pictures, video and perspectives from two guys seeking adventure and mayhem – should be fun…

We wanted a test of endurance and strength, so onto the “roller coaster” part of the Appalachian Trail. This section goes from Rt 7 to Rt 50 and equals 14.7 miles. If you drive the two points it equals 10.3 miles, the extra comes from going up and down. This trip equals the distance that we will travel hiking Half Dome in Yosemite. As for me (John) – it kicked my butt!

Video clips coming soon…

Went for a quick Sunday afternoon hike with the kids to Bears Den along the Appalachian Trail.

Hiking in Harpers Ferry, WV on August 23rd, 2008.  A short scenic climb to the overlook above the town. Trying to get our sea legs before the trip to Half Dome
