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 --

Becky lost her radio
but Mel found it for her

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
