final clambering near the summit |
the family on the summit |
trying incantations to lift the clouds |
The family on a rock near Porter mountain |
Lunch brings sock straightening on Porter |
a junction; pointing the way we want to Rt 73 is a carving, not a sign |
descending along Porter ridge |
taking a break |
strong wind on Blueberry mountain; by this point, we haven't seen Ben for a couple hours and are getting nervous about where he is |
the intense descent continues |
and long lost Ben reappears |
the boys play cards waiting for the car shuffle |
the swim in camp was interrupted by an intense thunderstorm |
but the storm was followed by amazing clouds |
and we enjoyed dinner |
and card playing after the storm |
even if we were a bit wet |
a spider web on the beaver dam in the morning |
the beaver dam |
breakfast in the morning's sparkle |
final crossing of the minichasm |
and a final swim before heading home |
