Mountain Pics

Oh, I posted the pictures from the mountain climb on Flickr.

They're here. Click "View As Slideshow".

By the way, my daughter is the gorgeous blond one; I'm the (way less than gorgeous) balding, goateed, chubby one....but hey, at least this chubby one made it to the top of a mountain. Not a bad thing, that.

The place was cool -- there are no roads up to the top, so you can only get there by hiking up. The people that live up there get their supplies 3 times a week by llama! There were small (but dry (and (sort of) warm)) cabins at the top, so we didn't have to pack up a tent or sleeping bag, which was nice.

At the end of the hike, on the way down, we saw a couple of large deer -- bucks, with huge antlers -- cavorting in the woods....and at the very end, a small bear.

I love the pictures of the girls at the very end -- they were so spent, they crashed right there, right on the concrete, and slept like, well, babies.
