Sam's Throne Trailhead (and it's
raining!) |

Our first view of Big Creek Valley |

Did I mention it was raining? |

Hiking along the top of the bluff |

|

We would squeeze through this? |

|

....and we did make it through! |

Taking shelter under a bluff |

If you looked up, you would get
a face full of water! |

Rock Climbers Paridise |

We seemed to always be looking up? |

|

A nice cave along the way |

I guess this is an Indian Pictograph? |

Nice square corner |

Heading up to Sam's Throne |

After Rishubh and myself, it was
Carolyn |

|

Next it was La Dona |

...and she makes it! |

|

Joe was next..... |

And yes, it was still raining.... |

LaDona on top of Sam's Throne |

Our view from the top....not too good! |

It was wet on the bottom and
wet on the top! |

Searching for Sam's preaching spot. |

Nice hair! |

Now back down |

|

Now to find a nice dry spot for lunch |

We took the first dry spot...we found.
|
 |

Hot soup would have been good! |
Maria trying to dry off! Good luck! |

Heading back (in the rain!) |

Nice bag worms |

|

Not sure how these pine trees
grow on the bluffs? |
 |

It was easy to get lost in the fog |

Rishubh doing some rock climbing |

Hike almost over and still no view |

No view, but we did have rain....
did I mention that?
|
 |

I understand now why most of our folks
stayed home.....they were SMART!!!! |
