It felt good to be back after a 5-month layoff and finally get that elusive 429th leaf. My butt was a little sore after the hike, but spending a couple of hours with The Man will do that to you.

Back from the dead and on the road again!

The trail seemed much longer than I remembered :)

Mommy and daughter were lookin' good

The mighty Priest Rock

The pregnant lady made it all the way to the top (double leaf?)

Congrats to all the anniversary people, especially The Chief and Sarah (see below)!
