It was all worth it, though. <br /><br />We'll be doing lots of hiking in Yellowstone N.P. in August. Looking forward to moving the ole body after sitting gate guarding in Texas heat all summer.<br /><br />Susan<br />http://travelbug-susan.blogspot.comTravelBug-Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974719934652737928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-80855865392843190252012-05-14T18:03:21.768-07:002012-05-14T18:03:21.768-07:00lot cooler there than where we are in Tucson... an...lot cooler there than where we are in Tucson... and Phoenix tomorrow...heyduke50https://www.blogger.com/profile/14927304490275027002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-3654218011842889632012-05-14T12:45:40.075-07:002012-05-14T12:45:40.075-07:00Glad you were able to make it to the top.

We just stop, catch our breaths and then move on.<br /><br />This looks just like a hike we would LOVE. You two are so lucky to get to go up the fire tower. BUT like you Gayle, I would be a bit wobbly and not sure I could make it up there. <br /><br />The view is FABULOUS! I am sure John was full of all types of wonderful information. What a nice jester.<br /><br />Love the hummingbird photo.

I bet it was the altitude. And what an interesting job -- who would've ever guessed there was such a job as a fire watcher. I bet he enjoyed the company as much as you guys did. Be safe as you move on down the road!Alan and Marilyn McMillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473233016633229141noreply@blogger.com
