It seems that the best way to build and sustain relationships is to have some type of project or shared experience. For me and two of my best friends from my college years, we have started a tradition of hiking Mt. Shasta together every year in June. We had to turn back before we made it to the top due to stormy conditions, but it was still quite an experience. Marty's Mom told him he had to take care of me and Paul since we have families back home, and he did good. We all made it back. There was that time I slid into Paul and he went flying down the mountain out of control, his helmet flying off, stopping just in time to jump out of the way of a large rock I kicked towards him...but it was really not that big of a deal.
Next year we may make it a longer trip and camp out half way up the mountain to adjust to the altitude and skip out on the pounding headaches and altitude sickness, but we're a bit stubborn and want to make it in one shot. We'll see.
