Brian's Half Dome hike

A few weeks ago Brian and some friends hiked to the top of Half Dome. (I was wisely on the the Valley floor). He had a great time. It is a 17 mile round trip hike and actually Mary and I did the first part of the Half Dome hike when we hiked to the top of Nevada. That was plenty for me. Here are some pictures of Brian's day!

So when you get almost to the top there are these cables that you have to climb up in order to get to the top (this is where they would have lost me). There is usually a long line you have to wait in to even get to the cables as you can see in the picture.

The picture of Brian sitting is at the top and that little patch of green just next to his shoulder is the meadow we live on...pretty cool!

The picture with no people is of our little valley. That is it, small and wonderful!
