Fourth Climb

< Back to Third Climb

The weather was spectacular,   It was in the 50's, the sun was shining, and the air was clear.  This was an ideal day to be out here!  So far it had been an easy enough ride for most folks and I am sure the scenery was not wasted on us.

Almost right away we reached the hill reported earlier in the week.  Thankfully, this hill had thawed and the snow and most of the ice was gone.  Still, it was imposing, so I went up alone.  At the top, the sun hit the windshield making it difficult to negotiate the left then right turns required to steer between the rocks and avoid the cliff to the left...

I pulled far ahead so that all the vehicles would be able to get up the hill and park on level ground.  Then I went back and started spotting people up the hill.

There wasn't much to challenge except the turn at the end because of the sun and rocks.  Everybody made it on their first try.  It was, for me, the most fun climb of the day.  I'm not so sure my Dad liked all that blue sky in front of us knowing that there was a cliff just to the left...  He had made the comment when I invited him:  "Sure, I'll go - as long as you don't take us over the edge of a cliff...."  Hmmm, the things we say in jest...
