At The Top Of The World

What has become our annual hike to Bald Mountain...........this hike is well worth it when you get to the top..........but getting to the top is NOT easy............it takes about 1 1/2 hrs to get to there.

The group that was up to the challenge.........Jaime was taking the picture.

Away we go...........

Straight up!

Time to check out one of the 2 Geo Cashes along the way...........
