A shorter hike than the gang is use to doing.  But a maiden voyage for some of the hikers. Who throuoghly enjoyed it.  Since campgraounds were closed not too many people around. Pat Nobriga joined us today.  He's 89 years old along with his dog Sebastian it was a nice addition.  Only down part was the cold wind.  Brrrrrr.

OK, because of the windy cold weather we didn't do "The Best Part of the Hike" today

So the group got to meet Pat Nobriga (89 years young) today.  Pat use to be a regular in the hike group.  Below is a photo of our hike to a mountain top in 2013.  And yes that's Pat (76) conquering Mt. Whitney.
