Minx: My love of the mountains didn't come from my folks who were too busy for anything other than camping (Although we did spend the whole summer camping in Truckee when I was 9, all of us in a tent, while my Dad built the boss's cabin on North Shore).
My love of the mountains acutally came from my Jr. High Algebra teacher who used to take groups of us into Yosemite and Inyo for two week trips. It was a blast! Nothing since has ever come close to the fun I had on those trips.
