I had to get back early for football, so I made it a short hike. Not only that, I downgraded it to Level 2 because INCH is getting too good!

Where's the damn hike leader???

Finally! Gotta make sure everyone's here ...

... and we're off!

The Priest made us work for it

Need to save some gas for the final push ...

... and then it's all good!

Olive did double duty pulling UG to the top

Back down to the valley ...

... when you see the depleted reservoir, you're almost done
