Up the Mountain...

So we took the Xterra up the mountain with a new record of people and stuff it it:

-9 full-grown not-small people

-8 suitcases/duffles full of their stuff and lots of donations

-Groceries 

I think Mom's question of "Can't we just take a taxi to your house?" was quickly answered in about 15 minutes during the bumpy trek which winds through the mountains.  Oh yeah, and it was raining!
