It was 91 degrees as we headed out for the post-game hike. Fortunately, there was a good breeze and things felt better as we got closer to the peak. I'd stashed a cold beer and ice packs in my fanny pack -- it tasted great at the top! Check out all the great hike pix below. Thanks to Rufina for the post-hike cold watermelon, salsa, and chips. Everyone else apparently had a plane to catch, so more for me!

Gotta touch the marker to make it official

When see this, you can stop walking

Dave knows what to do

That cold brew hit the spot

Apparently it wasn't warm enough for Rufina

The ants head down the Horse Heaven Trail

Almost done -- need some shade!
