I survived the trip to the top and enjoyed every blister.

I didn't take many pictures myself because J took a lot, so I'll post more once he uploads his from his camera. The views were spectacular. We got some really good shots of the surrounding mountains and of Z and I. I can't wait to see them. I bet they'll turn out really well. Z said then he'll have pictures of us to put on his desk. Isn't he cute. He also picked me my first wild flower and put it in my hair right before we made it to the top. I should have taken a picture of it, but I was more focused on making it to the top and taking in the sites around me. It was a precious little white flower tucked behind my left ear by my Z. He's so wonderful.

Here is a picture of the camp site.

Behind the third tent there was a nestle of tree's where Z's sister-in-law set up camp. It was a great camp site. Other folks that we ran into on the trail thought so as well.

Z and I broke in the new tent officially on the second day there tee hee. He said that we weren't going to have sex while on the mountain, but I showed him. Isn't it funny how playful teasing can turn into something else so quickly? I had to make sure my man was happy didn't I?

Speaking of which, he looked SO in his element with his zip offs on, strong, long, slightly sun burnt legs, hiking boots, backpack and baseball cap. His non shaven face breaking into huge teeth showing smiles. His warm muscular arms enfolding me by the camp fire in the cold night. Making me feel apart of him. So very loved.

I'm still a bit tired, bruised, and blistered, but very refreshed.

I had a blast on this trip and can't wait for the next.
