We got back on Saturday but I'm not totally back, if you get my drift.

Here is a link to 138 of my best photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lblanchard/sets/72157645979468325/

Trip highlight: we took the geezer bus to almost the top of Sharp Top, our favorite mountain, and then hiked the final 1,500 feet (which included about 150 feet of vertical rise). The thunder came closer and closer while we were on the summit, and we got hit by the wall of water on the way down. I was so wet I was able to wring out my shirt, my tank top, and my underwear.

It was great. I wish we hadn't had to get back down in time to meet the return bus. I could have splashed about for much longer.

And here is a photo of our favorite mountain at sunset:

I see everyone has been writing. Tomorrow I hope to do some reading.

I've been back for a week and am not totally back either. I can't seem to make myself do things.
The mountain is spectacular in the photo. Go you for climbing it! In the downpour even.
Going to look at your photos now!

We didn't climb the whole mountain -- just the last 1/4 mile.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.
