Top of Sleeping Beauty with Friends

"There's our farm."
Warm rocks buffer the chilly wind.  Mt St Helens in backdrop.

On top of the world.  Mt Hood on the horizon.



Gabe coming back to his mom's plea.  Not too keen on him mimicking the mountain goats.


Descending the trail built with stacked stones to summit the rocky face of Sleeping Beauty.

We hiked up on a clear day before the smoke settled into the state.

Mid-July Birthday Hike Found Huckleberries!

Sunday afternoon Birthday Stroll

Birthday Boy found some berries.

Found a spot to eat lunch.

Gabe snacking on some berries too.

Look at those beauties.  We were one of the first to discover them this year.

 Bushes promise a bountiful harvest.

Look at all those berries coming on.
