In The Service Of Mankind
The World Demands this Picture!
I had feelings of ambivalence when I finished the track, but I knew that the momentous event must be recorded for all of mankind throughout the ages.  You can see the end of the trail just to the left of the sign.  In the rain, my hands were so cold that I could barely operate the buttons to use the self-timer function of my camera.  In my vain attempts, I accidentally snapped a picture.

One More Try

Ok, I'm going to try again.  Some people might say, "I was freezing my ass off."  Well, I wasn't, as most of me was quite warm, it was only my hands that that were freezing.  I still couldn't operate the self-timer function correctly.

D'oh!
I resort to using a small stick to poke at the buttons and I finally press the proper buttons in the proper order.  I run to the sign, grab my pack, and lift it over my head.  I hear the camera click and then I realize that I was standing in front of the sign.  D'oh!

Success!
I go back to the camera and look for the small stick that I had just discarded.  It was hard to operate the camera, but the stick really helped.  I reset the camera and run to the sign again.  Success!
