It was just time to get away. There were no winter climbs. Again. And another year of deep snow falls. There was some hiking time to make up.
No special stories or events. Just a good trip and a relaxing dinner afterwards.
One item of special note: the weather was great. Probably some of the best to be expected at any time of year.

| Sherry Food is a must have item on these trips. Calculations have been run by the engineers in the group: no one is losing weight on these trips.

| Sherry and Alan The snow keeps getting deeper. They let Joe lead. He, of course, then does all the post-holing.
