Arriving on top of Owens Mountain
You talk about windy today.....wow!!!!
It didn't take us long to get to the
entrance of the Bear Crack
Orvalene entering the Bear Crack
Once you get in you go down!
Michael and Tiffany
It gets a little crowded going down
Next: Tonya and Sisco
A little steep, at least the first part!
Now to explore some of the bluffs
Owens Mt. Bluffs
Hard to see some of the pictographs
Notice: Don't touch nothing!!!
Around and back to the top
Some of the artifacts we found.
Arriving at Ricketts Mt.
We were going to invade some rock climbers.
We would hike around and up
the bluffs before lunch.
Dale in one of the cave openings
Chucky
This is the grotto we found bear tracks
The Bear Grotto
This is where we go up
Brittany packing her friend away
before the climb
Stan waiting his turn
It was a pretty steep climb to the top
Sisco makes it up .... no sweat!
We decided to rest on the top....
...while Brittany unpacks her friend!
We found a road, so why not take it?
Someone left their hiking stick behind...
Chuck to the rescue.
Up to our lunch spot.
Again, no sweat for Sisco!
It was another story for Pam!
Ah, lunch in the sun!
Some folks know how to "do lunch"!
Some of us on Ricketts Mt.
Down another Bear Crack and over to
Ricketts Knob
Gathering before heading to Ricketts Knob
Passing by a lone cemetery plot
Waiting on the others to get on the trail
Rock Climbers
Heading for the top of the Knob
View to the west
The wind was howling on top...
but it was warm today.
We made a fast exit off the Knob
It was way too much for Dale!
Tiffany got scratched up....!!!
We spotted some "Sponge Bob" Hikers
on our way out!
