Ellen Encounter Today

[Mountaingoat]

Took the the first tram up this morning and who happened to be there the famous Ellen Coleman was headed up and doing some kind of loop hike!

Had a chat with her and explained who I was and that I had run into her many years ago (2007 she said) at the Grand Canyon.

Passed each other a couple more times between tram and Wellmans Divide. I continued to the peak (gorgeous day today, but record crowds)

I must say that girl is an inspiration after all she has been through on "That Mountain" (must be her favorite, cause she does a lot of hiking there)

Hope you read this Ellen and keep smiling!!

It was great to see you and thanks for your kind words

It was a beautiful day hiking up San Jacinto via the Strawberry loop.













Miles of smiles,

I was on-duty at Tahquitz Peak today in that first photo. Can you see me waving?

Being out of state I have done a humble 3 C2Cs.
What are the chances that I bumped into Ellen on the mountain each time. I know right!? I did .
