| 5/31/09 Flowers, flowers, flowers! The alpine tundra was covered with a wide array of kinds and colors. They were lovely to see. But the hike itself was mostly about the wind. There were some sheltered areas along the way, in spite of the steady wind probably about 30 mph. Then the gusts would hit and stop us in our tracks. Above the second saddle became unbearable. Jascha kept trying to go back down. I've learned to trust his judgement, so we didn't take the summit. |
