October 14, 2009

Hiked at high altitude on Saturday. Bruce and I did a 4.2 mile round trip hike to Parker Lake in the Eastern Sierras with our daughter Dana, her husband Eric and Eric's parents. Also Dodger Dog! I felt pretty good. A little light headed at first, but drank some water and felt better. The weather was beautiful, the scenery gorgeous.
Last week I went to our Mt. K trip leader's house and found out what she meant when she said we need to wear four layers of clothing (YIKES!) It's not as bad as I thought though. I was picturing waddling up the trail with all my clothes piled on me like our daughter Julie used to do when she was a little girl. She would put all of her dresses on at once - so funny. I also saw pictures of the TABLE AND CHAIRS the porters will be hauling for us as well as the delicious looking food. No dehydrated dinners - YESSSS!

this is a former house plant that I tired of, I didn't want to throw it out, so I dug a hole for it in the dog yard. It's thriving despite me.
