Peak Baggers

As true adventures we decided to summit the highest point in DuPage County. USGS records indicate that the highest point is an unnamed hill top near Lombard (ele. 820'), but a secret, closely guarded local climbers, is that Mount Hoy (836') dwarfs 'unnamed hilltop'. As we decided to summit with two children under five years old, Nova wanted to document our ascent. However to maintain rights to the images and story we declined their sponsorship for the benefit of our blog. Here's the climb:


















































Okay, 'Mount' Hoy isn't a mountain or a hilltop. It is just a garbage heap covered with sod.

I'm laughing! You guys always have such fun. And it sure looks cold there. Samara was surprised that it's still cold where you live. :)
