mt frickin whitney...

here are some pics from our trip yesterday up mt whitney, the tallest mountain in the lower 48 states... 14,496'... due to leaving late (try 4 1/2 hours late) and a mild snow storm, we didnt summit... next time... anyways, pictures...


here we are at the beginning of the trail... ready to hike the 22 miles roundtrip with over 7000' of acension...


here is our mountain...


here is an important sign on the trail...


here is a wild looking tree on the trail... several of these, winding upward...


cool old house...


we didnt camp, we stayed at a posh hole-in-the-wall motel... no spa...


a stretch on the way home...

so, thats it for now... still recovering...
