The little creek at the bottom of the switchbacks leading to Fish Creek Saddle. Joyce is fascinated by water.

Had a great time guys, and Jim it was so nice finally getting to meet Joyce in person, she is an absolute doll.

Well, we wouldn't want to get our priorities confused, now would we?

Glad you liked Joyce. She had a great time with so many playmates at hand.

A BIG thank you to Zip and family for doing so much to make this happen.

I'm so glad you said it first, all that spooning caused something to give out

Brutal! Just a funky camera angle. "Fern" actually means "sixpac abs" in a dialect of the pre-Columbian Nahuatl language.

I think he suffers from the same physical adnormality that I do, I try for sixpac abs, but I end up with "small ponykeg" flab

Sorry I missed this, I too hope that another fools hike is planned in the future so I can meet those I haven't yet.

Hiking Joyce is adorable in her kitty jams

Ellen, you look like your legs are all bloody and scratched again..
