We’re fortunate to receive many delightful notes commenting on something that interests a person after reading a blog. Some, we are sure, are from people who want to be nice while others have distinct points, observations or comments to make. There are those who have enjoyed similar experiences and like to share them with us. Whatever the case, we are the beneficiaries and are grateful.
While the blogs are posted every three or so days, we seldom send out a distribution list these days informing of a posting. We believe, other than when we have a special situation (the ‘Dirty Dozen’ excluded), people who wish to view the spectacular world we all enjoy, can self-direct to the blog. After all, the internet has millions of attention seekers soliciting a multitude of offers and besides, we dislike clogging your email boxes.

That's probably a better position from an achievement perspective.
Appears to be caught off-guard as she rounds the bend. Guess what caught my eye.
After an hour, we've reached the lake and risen above it. We find ourselves along a wonderful edge with a view of the target peak in the distance.
You never want to fall on the trail; nevertheless, we love fall on the trail.
A harsh view below, from the peak, and Clayton Peak in the distance.
We do wish to acknowledge and pay tribute to two men who recently sent us some wonderful comments (they often do). Barry Jahn of Salem, Oregon and Doug Morton of Pietermaritzburg, South Africa are the gentlemen. As an aside, that’s another advantage of the internet. The four of us are from 1,000 to 12,000 miles apart and yet the communication is instantaneous. (Huh! You knew that?)

Barry is an avid hiker, slightly older than us and yet stronger, more powerful, someone who sets the bar very high. We know when we write of the struggles, fears, accomplishments and post-hike feelings, Barry will comprehend exactly what we mean. He’s been there. Barry’s note dealt along those lines.
Doug is someone whom we met in South Africa about 7 years ago at Elsa and Derryl’s home, their B&B. It was a wonderful occasion and we have revisited since. Anyway, Doug has a number of attributes and whatever he does, you can be sure the outcome of his efforts will be superb. Whether it be architecture, photography or my favorite aspect, his ability to commit his thoughts to paper (or screen) eloquently, succinctly with humor and tremendous insight. When we receive something from him to read, we know we’re in for a treat.
We can never leave off Ron Allegretto of Vancouver, Canada, just because of the person he is and what he stands for.
Thank you, gentlemen—we are indeed fortunate to have met you. Perhaps equally important, that we remain in touch.
Much earlier, we reach the lake after climbing close to 900 feet and glimpse at Patsy Marley Peak on the right.
It was a stunning day, a hike with most features and a good challenge.
Jen begins the tricky descent.
We decided that moment was not apt to discuss avalanches.
...or any other subject for that matter.
Jen preens. She thinks she's a big deal, so do I.
I am considerate and take a shot of Jen; she takes a shot of the dam(n) lake.
A mix of seasons above the water.
Moments before he attempts a high-wire performance.
Perspective of the surroundings from the peak.
More perspective as Jen approaches the summit, nearly but not quite yet.
At the day's highpoint of 10,525 feet altitude.
Cheers,

Twin Lakes in the distance viewed from Clayton Peak, provides perspective.
