Hiking with the Elderly

Despite recently celebrating her 15th birthday (which we neglected to remember -- don't tell her!) Miss G out-hiked both of us for nearly the entire 6+ miles we covered.

OK, the camera was NOT turned at an angle. This was the pitch of the start of the hike.

Miss G wondering what's taking her girl so long!
We made it to the top!

My husband loved it when, at a rest break where I removed my boots, I tied my sock around her head like she was Fred Flintstone with a toothache. ;)

During the last two miles the old lady was pooped out and seemed happier to have a ride.

She earned a nap and was pleased to hit the hay early after our adventure. :)
