Peter owes a writeup! -- Pictures by HaJo
Big turnout on a beautiful February morning ... 1,2,3 .. INCH!!
Shady characters head out on the Shady Glen Trail
Then the climb up Flag Hill begins ...
Almost there ...
A solo hiker made it there before us to enjoy the view from the top
Then on to Maguire Peaks
Our bovine friends were there to greet us
The peaks are in sight
The ladies showing good form on the way up
Heyning taking a well-deserved break at the top
Then back down to Mootown -- happy cows come from California
Stacy was telling me about her upcoming desert adventure -- I was jealous
More clmbing up to Vista Grande, but the view was worth it
We got 3200 feet on the day before heading back down for beer -- not bad
