My Journey

[YukonMontanaTannerTrapper]

After one last steep incline we reached an enormous ridgeline.....to the north it dropped nearly straight down but to the south and east.....it was relatively flat.....like walking on gently sloping hills.....it wasn't long before we stood on the summit.....



To the northwest we had a great view of the Wanapum  Dam.....



And further to the north.....a shot of the Columbia River / Wanapum Lake.....and the interstate bridge that we took to cross the river / lake.....



The views from the summit.....they were decent looking north, east and west.....not so much so looking south.....this mountain was covered in dirt roads and antennas.....like a whole lot.....even our summit (shown in next photo) was covered in antennas.....



I took a few pictures from the summit.....





.....and I took a few pictures of my hot dogs on another mountain top.....




We spent that night at the Big B Truck Stop along Interstate 90. The next day we drove east.....stopped in Missoula, Montana for yet another test on the heart.....then we continued driving east.....arrived home that night.....

For what it's worth.....my knee didn't hurt one bit after that climb and hasn't hurt one bit since (I've even put in a few 17+ mile days since). Sometimes I think that doctors just need to make a diagnosis.....but.....heck, what do I know.....

And sadly, I have thousands of pictures saved on CD's that I'll never be able to access.....

If you ever find yourself in LA I'd love the opportunity to turn those CDs into a USB drive or an online album for you - I have a large gravel driveway that's currently occupied by a friend in his camper van and there's plenty of room for another for a night or two...
(I realize Los Angeles, people, cities, driveways, etc aren't your thing... one day they wont be mine either)
