Mel, our excellent leader
Thanks Mel

The views were fantastic
That is Mt Adams in the background

Some of the best views could be seen going down the hill
The flowers were everywhere
--------------------------------------------
Even the Mountain Cucumbers were fruiting
I did not get everyone, but here are a few pictures of those on the hike
Note, I offered a prize for anyone that sent to me pictures that they took on the hike
so that I could include then in this page, but I have not gotten any as yet --
----- note the contest is still open -----

Some People are naturally dramatic

Becky lost her radio
but Mel found it for her
Finally a picture of where we were.
It might not look high, but it was a challenging climb
According to Becky, if we had gone earlier
we would have seen some interesting things
