A tougher hike then it should have been....

I went with my friend, Jason, for a shoot at the top of Devil's Head Peak at the Fire Tower, and it nearly killed me!!!  It's a simpler 2 mile hike, but I've been feeling a cold coming on, and it finally arrived when I started hiking.  I had severe breathing issues, my nose wouldn't quit running, and I began to over-heat.  I had to stop at least 8 times on the hike and halfway through sent Jason ahead.  You would have thought I had heat stroke, but we were in the trees and it was only 70's.  I have to make sure, to keep my health when I'm out there on the Appalaccian.  I did, however get some good shots while Jason was working on his story.  I'll post them soon.
