Hiking up from the parking lot. The drive up cuts off allot of walking and elevation.

The trail you see below is what the Gals took down from the summit.

Jeff went back to the car and picked us up at the other trailhead…so that we could experience the other trail…( What a nice hubby!}mt washburn hike_20090902_006

Jeff and I are still in Eugene, Oregon.

I am sitting in the Homey as our front windshield is being replaced.

We are also having the windshield in our car replaced..big chips in both and cracks.

This afternoon we go to Carrier and sons..where Homey will have some more work done to it…..Hope to have the sofa reupholstered and a few other upgrades.

More Yellowstone Hikes coming soon!
