Pictures of our Adventure
 Mr. Gourmet Luker Brouchette for Dinner! |
 The morning of the hike. Sleeping at 12000' |
 Bright and fresh on the first leg. Not yet to the Barcroft Lab |
 Further along. Not much around except rocks and grass. |
 The peak...finally obtainable. |
 A short stop along the way |
 |
The top of the rock house was actually 10' higher than the peak |
 |
 On the top! |
 This is more like us!!! |
 What a line-up! |
 I thought the steep part was much longer. |
 Heading home. |
 Won't Mr.Rozelle ever catch up? |
 A last look back at the peak |
 and his sore feet. |
 A Flat in Mr. Rozelle's tire tops off the day |
