Fun New "There's a Map For That" Verizon vs. AT&T Ad

Ironically, when I asked you if you had ever experienced dropped calls because of bad cell phone reception, those of you with Verizon said that you Read more

Hiking Alone in Yosemite

Last weekend started out pretty typical: my boyfriend and I made the four-hour drive to Yosemite for a few days of climbing with friends. But what I wasn't counting on was sleeping in that first morning and missing my chance to climb. Left alone, I figured I might as well go for a hike.
