Peter owes a writeup! -- Pictures by Clive

A bunch of INCH turkeys crossing the road

Big INCH cheer before staring the hike -- everybody get friendly!

I was hoping Patrick would clobber me with the pipe and end my misery

Resting in the shade at Las Trampas Peak

Looking back at the trail leading up to Las Trampas Peak

Intrepid hikers heading up towards Vail Peak

Finally, some shade on the trail!

Marching along under the hot midday sun, looking towards Mt. Diablo

We just have to get over that ridge ...

Finally, the torture is over!
