Breakfast cooks are up early setting up for breakfast. Well 'up' should
really be 'still up'.
Stove legs all on. Not a 1 man job.
Get the hanging dish rack on. 
Saw through 3 packs of stacked bacon into 4 slices. Then prepare to deep
fry. 
Crack open 2 dozen eggs. Skim off some bacon drippings and dump in
the eggs.
Look Mom. We're using hand sanitizer. Smells volatile, think it will burn?
Nice pink lips there Hale, Yea, I like your pink ear lobes too Jeff.
Sam told us this was the last chance to get a drink. 
And the ascent begins...
I don't know about you, but my legs are kind of short for this. 
Hey, wait up guy, I can do this...
See, told ya. 
Nice view from the 1st leg. 
Maybe I shouldn't have stayed up all night. I could just sleep here
and then when they come back, I'll wake up and fall in line again. 
But then, I could be cougar bait, hmmm. Hey, wait up guys.
Hey, Josh, are you as tired as I am? Nope, no problems here.
Nice view from the 2nd leg. We are really getting high now. 
So we just follow the ridge up, right?
Hey guys, I'm all out of pee. I can't make any more territory. Spare any
water?
Says some fellow died here 3 years ago, exactly to the day. 
Nice view from the 3rd leg. Can't even see the bottom now. 
Almost there, but gee, the air is even getting thinner up here. Yea, my
ears popped tree times. 
Look! even nice thing grow up high. 
I can't believe I got this high. 
I'm not resting, just getting rocks out of my shoes. 
I am resting, and I wish my tongue was longer. 
At the 1st view point over the edge. That's scary...
So I'm still waiting to here the rock I throw over. 
Still nothing...
So does this angle make it look scarier, cause it really is. 
There's no slope under us, like there is over on that side. 
Whoa, that's a drop!
Right behind this rock, it's a sheer drop down. 
You're right, that's pretty freaky.
Hurry, take his picture before a wind gust comes. 
Look mom, no hands.
Can you see Taysen over there?
The toes of my foot are big enough to squish many semi trailers. 
OK big foot. Let's go.
Lets go this way.
With my sniffer, I just need to follow my nose back over to where Taysen
is. 
It's scarier than it looks mom. Really. 
Well, maybe not. 
A lot of toasted trees around here.
You guys are suppose to be going down right?
Just 1 more rock over the edge.
I think I heard it hit the bottom.
Or maybe is just some gas. 
Just need to take one more shot. Hold onto my legs. 
Oh, that's a great shot. 
Getting a bit crowed up here with these tourists. 
Would you jump over if you had one of those squirrel suits on?
Maybe I should leave my initials here. TS love KS
So we really are going down now.
We can make up good time running all the way down.
If I don't see you at the bottom, it was good knowing you Sam.
Ditto to you on that Taysen.
and if you do go before me, you might as well share that water of yours
with me.
As long as I'm behind Sam, I know I'm on the right trail.
Do you see the hole behind me? 
Video of the edge
Leaving the last outcrop of the slide. 
HiHo, HiHo, it's down the hill we go...
Leader shot for Dave. Proof he was up high too. 
and I still have a few nuts left. 
See how we photo-shopped Dave into this picture with Crows Nest Mtn. in
the background. 
I'm a Cairn Terrier and I build cairns and then pee on them. It's kind of
like signing your art. 
There's a nice profile shot for you. 
Back at leg 3. They have this cool teepee frame of wind blown dead
fall. 
Don't bring a match too close to this wood. 
OK, I'm almost hungry enough to try one of your nasty nuts again. 
Yuk. Still nasty. 
I notice how you color coordinate your cloths to match with my fur. 
Made it back to the 2nd leg and I'm still up for it.
This is Javon zoomed in. 
This is Javon zoomed out.
Now this is cool refreshing puddle water. 
I think I could keep drinking it till it's down to my ankles. 
Yea, the silt in the water helps rub the plaque off your teeth. 
Hey, Look guys! I'm an African Water Buffalo. 
There was some confusion about the which was the right trail head. 
Turns out the one with the yellow rocks is the right one.
Probably a reason why our trail had log across it. 
Video for which trailhead to choose. 
Starting to rain guys. 
Hurry, unlock the door.
Nice rain hat Dave. 
Puddles are not too deep. 
The crowds intensely watch as Sam winds up for his Power serve
Javon rallies it back with a fore-arm smash.
Sam snaps the return volley, but I think it's now in the wrong
court. 
This time it looks like Sam's going to get it. 
Hey look, a beach with cute girls swimming in it. 
Dave really like to get these mountain shot. We're on the road to the
beach now with a great view of Crows Nest Mtn. 
Despite the frigid temperatures everyone dips in. 
We come looking super buff and the girls are all gone.
Sam advises us he only swims if the water is no deeper than his
tummy. 
Hale it trying to see what make the water green. 
Josh letting the fish tickle his toes. 
Anyone up for the challenge to swim to the other side?
No Takers. 
Got about another minute and hypothermia is going to set in. 
Yup. we're too cold now. 
Dukes cramping up. Oh no.
Water dripping off my head tastes salty. All that sweating on the
hike. 
Got to wash up the equipment
Don't I just look invigorated and refreshed?
Dave wants more Mountain and Lake shots.
OK, No hands.
That's better, smile for the camera.
Here we have the mountain hat Dave wants to wear.
Here's Dave wearing it.
Wrapping up the night with a game of "Kick the Can"
The 20 count is on and it's the mad dash to hide. Notice Sam with
his night vision on.
The light sabers come out over the camp fire.
And then we spent an hour discussing Taysen's question: "What happens
after we get to Heaven?"
