Two mountains in one day

Nancy and I climbed Chief Mountain and Squaw Mountain yesterday with friends from Church. Below is a photo of Nancy and Kay on the summit of Chief Mountain. We had a beautiful 360 degree view from the top and the weather was perfect.

I stopped to take this photo of a bristlecone pine. According to some experts they are thought to live as long as 5,000 years! There's a simple secret to long life - get to be a hundred and then be careful! You know you're getting old when your idea of an early bird dinner is lunch.

After we climbed Chief Mountain, we walked over to Squaw Mountain and hiked up to the old forest service lookout on top. Some people were remodeling the facility in hopes of renting it out later this year or next for $90 a night.
