blooms are still intact.
The
idea was to meet Carlton and Trey. Carlton fell ill and was unable to make
the climb with his son and friend Bob, so I joined them at the shelter on day
two of their trek. From left to right, Bob, Trey, Q, Ashley and Orrin, new
friends from the shelter.
From the Cliff Tops, we had a nice but not spectacular sunset.
Basking

Good buddies since High School.
