Howdy All,

Liridon -- I owe you another beer, thanks so much for returning my micros and hat.

Speedy Steve had the really chilly conditions on Saturday with high wind -- mine were perfect.

Trip report to follow.

If there's no lost gear involved, then it can't be Ellen. ;)

OK, so prove to me this is a real Ellen hike. Three forms of identification are acceptable:
a) Blood
b) Lost gear (or lost persons)
c) Single malt scotch

Ellen sighting status: Confirmed. :lol:

Nice pic's on both accounts. Ellen, some of those view shots reminds me of the grand canyon......and only 90 minutes drive time to the trail head. Amazing :D
