going up..the easy way
continuing on foot, over and under
We found our spot, great view. Note the angle, good for wicked wedgies and feet that fell asleep under the pressure of holding us in place while eating, talking and knitting.

Um, yeah. The wedgie is still hurting. 😀
I’m drinking elderberry juice. It’s YUMMY.
Great day! Good shot of sock and view.
The view from the top is incredible. Great trek and good looking socks.
Wonderful!
Now that is one cool trek! Wish I would have come along!!
Awesome hiking photos! I would have been waiting at the bottom with a cold martini in hand. 😉
Beautiful weather for a sock trek!!!
You’re almost finished with your sock! 🙂
What a great day–fresh air, sunshine (did you bring sunscreen?) and exercise. And a picnic with a friend. And knitting. Plus I bet you slept like a log that night. 😉
It looks like you all had such a good time!
couldn’t get my email to go through, but “Indian Paintbrush, in Idaho at least, comes in several colors depending (so I’ve been told) on mineral content of the soil: yellow, red, orange, and my favorite, magenta. Here are some of different colors on this link:

I didn’t know it was the state flower of Wyoming!
Your hike looks great. We were at 8400′ at that lookout!
GORGEOUS trek! Thanks for sharing!!
Now Norma can say she’s really a sock knitter. Hiking with SIP is a real accomplishment.
