Granite Peak, Montana, August 2012

Wyoming, on the way to Montana.

Somehow, I got a flat tire on the way up the "Goose Lake Jeep Trail." The others had to do a little road maintenance on the way in. I was too busy driving to do manual labor.

Elizabeth, Josh, Melinda, Sean, and me.

Josh and I, pretending to understand a map.

We all made it across this dry (except for the rain).

It is possible to set up a tent sitting down. I was tired!

Nice campsite at Rough Lake.

Summit Day

It was windy and cool. We were a little sweaty, too.

The top! Michael carried up my drink of choice!!

Michael, in a mental debate on whether to descend. He doesn't realize that descent is not optional.

Two ruffians at the top.

Headed down.

Michael and Elizabeth are in this picture, near the bottom of the gully.

Mountain Goats celebrated around our tents at night. Michael took this picture at 3:01 a.m.
