Assembling for fun

Made it to the ridge

View from the Yerba Buena overlook

Waiting for the laggards

A small log blocked our path

Early poppies at mystery location

Pausing at a junction to make sure we don't lose anyone

Ever heard of The Villages?

Miserable INCHers

McCreery Lake, mile 20--almost done
