Mission Peak, Fremont, CA - a weekend hiking... Completed 50+ hikes...
My dear social friends, brothers and sisters ...
From the peak, you get a very nice view. if you are lucky, you will see clouds and you will be above the clouds. Please see below pictures.
During winter, you will love the scenic views throughout the hike. It is lush green, nice breeze and awesome views... It is a treat for your eyes and body.
OK, how did i start?... This is our hiking group (below). We have a team of around 30 people, across various professions and various age groups.
My mentor, Mr. Sri, introduced myself and Mr.Rajan to his big group of hiking friends, who have been hiking for two decades. Two decades!.. can you believe that? Yes, they have been hiking for two decades, very disciplined and very caring and with common goal!.
Thanks to Sri, for your introductions, and all the help during initial days.
Our team picture!.. We start at 6.30 am every Saturday morning and come back around 10 am. Once we reach the peak, we get a hot south Indian filter coffee. :) - Can you believe that?. Yes, that is the tradition. This attracted me to go there on every weekend. :) . We have a singer too. Mr. Ganapathi, who sings there and I luv his songs.
Our group has matured talented rich folks, who are above 75 years of old. I learn a lot from them. Healthy life is wealthy life...
Can you imagine your life at the age of 75+?. Would you be able to hike for 4 hours?. mmm! I am bit aggressive at work, disciplined, focused on execution, product feature deliverables, innovations and customer first mind set oriented. During weekends, when I meet my hiking friends, I become very calm, quiet and learn a lot from them. This started giving a balance and gave a reset that I was looking for.
Sometimes we start with small group, catch up the big group at the peak....
Sometimes you will be walking with clouds all the way....
I should definitely call out my bro, Mr. Rajan. Learnt a lot from him, he taught me US lifestyle, lessons and dos/donts. We started hiking together in Redwood city area, Belmont area and then decided to go to Fremont Mission peak. It was really fun early days. Initial days, we used to target only few benches in Mission Peak...
Can you guess, how many benches are there in Mission Peak?. We have 8 benches from start to end. :)
Another mentor to call out: Mr.Harish... I luv listening to him, his advice, and his ideas. We have been hiking for last one year now...
At the peak, we get a coffee like this.. Please see below picture... It is served in South Indian tumbler.. :)
ok... This was our 50th hike!... We couldn't believe. We did complete 50 hikes and clocking around 60+ now..
A recent one... Now days, we are consistent, disciplined, and self driven...
OK, everyone. Thank you for reading this.... :) Sharing is caring!... Sharing what I experienced in hiking and my weekend activity..
Hiking is really good, and it brings discipline to body. Have good friends to hike with, this is important. Hiking rejuvenates your body.
Healthy life is wealthy life.
We will catch up in the next blog and take care!
Bye, Nandri. Take care!
