WHAT WAS I THINKING???

I have a birthday coming up BUT my brain still thinks it's YOUNG... BUT my body is a wreck!! While we are enjoying our laid back day at Mt. Alyeska, Al & Ann Marie said we're hiking up to the waterfalls..wanna go?? My mind is saying"GO"!! BUT my body is saying " Are you Nuts?"


Here is a sign with trail information. The picture is a hiker with a back pack & hiking poles...

                                                             Here is our hike view looking up...

Here we are..NOTE I don't have a back pack NOR hiking poles!!

Hi Dan! Trust me I'll be ok!!!

See Dan... I'm still okay!!

Wait for me...I'm bring up the rear!

Can you see me????

OPPS!!

I'm COMING!!!

I'm calling Dan & telling him "I'm COOL..I made it!!"

We're all smiles BUT my body is saying #%@&(

This is a shot without zooming in...we're standing on the bridge. Can you see us???

As you can see this wasn't just a afternoon stroll!!

Well we made it back with no injuries but my body is NOT happy with me!! 

MT. ALYESKA ALASKA

The ranch gave us a day off so we could go to Mt. Alyeska to ride the tram. Our friends Bert, Gwen, Ann Marie, & Al decided to go enjoy one more adventure before we all leave!

Looking up to the tram

Here it comes!

All aboard!!

We made it to the top with Our Ranch Buddies!!

What a View at about 4000'! We were on cloud nine!!

That is a glacier in the middle of the picture.
They have a beautiful blue-teal color

AWESOME

We celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary high up on a mountain!!

OUR HIKING ADVENTURE

While we're here in Alaska, I thought Dan & I should do some hiking!! Dan isn't so thrill about this idea BUT as a good husband (or smart one!) he agreed! Ronna our guide makes it look so SIMPLE!!


                                          Looks like Dan is ready! Backpack ready to go!!

Hidden valley over looking Skitah Lake

What a view!

                                Group picture halfway up JUST in case some of us don't make it!!

                                                              YEAH!! We made it!!

Look at Ronna!! She doesn't even look tired!!

The guys are smiling but they're breathing hard from the hike

It was a great day! LIVIN' THE DREAM.....

In case your wondering how long it took us...well.. it was a 1.5 miles in 1.45 hours. I don't know what was worse..going straight up OR straight down!!
