Movin' on Up!

Sam and I pose for a picture at station 6. It seemed like a long way up to station 6. We may look happy here, but we were a little worried. This was maybe a quarter of the way up to the summit, and it wasn't easy walking.

Sam is posing by the point that we decided was halfway up to the summit. Everyone deposited the bells off their walking sticks here for reasons unknown to us. We're sure it had something to do with pleasing the spirits. At this point, I think I was thinking about drinking some spirits. :)


I may have posted this picture before, but it's a classic. Here's the point we weiged our options, perfomed a cost-benefit analysis, and decided to walk down the hill instead of up. Note the view. We figured it would've looked the same from the summit. It was also raining. We were also pretty tired. Turns out it's a good idea to start very early in the morning to avoid the rain.
