Start out on North Rim Trail |

....and off we go. |

....kind of gloomy out today! |

Our first "major" creek crossing!!!! |

We have Lila with us today, so it may
not be
so gloomy after all? |

Donna and Patti and Mary and Daisy |

They must be posing for a picture? |

Chuck and Danny, deep discussing! |

Enjoying the view |

Girls day out.... |

Still on track. |

Pretty high, but we will get
higher..... |

Hiking along the edge of cliffs, don't
bother me,
this bothers me! |

We will hike Mossback later.... |

More of those "scary" crossings! |

Highpoint, lodge, highpoint,
lodge....? |

....I guess Highpoint first. |

We met some wild animals on our way
up....

(An Owl) |

We made it past the wild animals and
up on top. |

TAKAHIK on TOP |

So now, who is hungry? |

I smell food....... |

We came out of the woods....finally. |

....and made another "scary" crossing. |

We need this......! |

This counts as a hike too. |

...getting closer! |

It was the buffet for all of us
today....! |

How can she possibly eat all that....?
Well stay tuned! She did, and more! |

Is that ribs? YES, indeed! |

...but this is what I ate! Yeah,
right! |

I can't show who was eating these....
could it be Loretta? I didn't show
who... |

This was Brenda's fourth course....! |

If Chucks head is fuzzy looking, it is
because
he would not hold still while eating..... |

Donna was praying that she would not
eat too
much. It didn't get through! |

Lindsey and Kathy showed up......just
in time! |

This is as far as we got after
eating....
well some of us! |

But here came our rescue vehicle.... |

Finally got everyone back together,
and
off we go on our last section.... |

Getting to the top of Mossback, was
hard on
a FULL stomach. |

I don't think we can all fit behind
that tree..... |

...but we tried! |

Now it was not that funny....but the
getting
up part was! |

Someone in the log? Yuko maybe? |

All things back in order, now we hike! |

Oh, no! Not another road crossing! |

We are just following our LEADER! |

This is so scary! |

Mrs. and Mr. Hale |

We are so done and it looks like Lila
is crying! |

Mike and Bill
(Found out they had a lot of friends in common) |

Daisy was really happy we were done! |

One more stop and we are outa here! |

Another great day to be on the
mountain....
now last week was a different story!
