Mount Chimborazo


Stan and Landon recently drove up and then walked up Mount Chimborazo as far as they could go without actually using mountain climbing gear.  Mount Chimborazo is an inactive volcano, and is the tallest point in Ecuador.  Some believe it is the tallest mountain in the world because its peak is the furthest from the Earth's center (measuring 3,968 miles from the Earth's core to its peak).

They were blessed with an unusually warm, sunny day.  Usually at this altitude, they'd be so covered up you wouldn't see their smiles.
