My Starbucks VIA Experience @North Dome, Yosemite

A short description of our Starbucks VIA experience on the summit of North Dome (Yosemite National Park, California), as provided by my hiking buddy, Shyam:

On October 2nd 2009, two brave photography (and coffee) addicts set out to hike to North Dome in Yosemite for a sunset/moonlit view of the Half Dome. On our way we stopped at Starbucks in Oakdale, CA for some bean juice and was challenged in a taste test between Pike’s Place and the VIA (what?). We won and left with a few packets of Starbucks Via in our pockets.

This is what happened next…

We are waiting to hear back from Starbucks if our submission is going to be rewarded with some goodies!
