Still At Catalina

It's Saturday evening and we are updating this blog, watching the Colts play the Jets, and cooking dinner.
Got to 60 today but was 31 this morning so we are still not out of the "freeze" zone.  However, looking at the weather at home, I'm not complaining at all!  Today was kind of a day of rest - because >>>

Yesterday, Friday, we left the dogs behind and went for a 4 hour, 6 mile hike. Turned out to be a little more than we wanted for our first trek, but we made it to the trails end and made the return trip without any problems.  It was not the length of the hike, but the elevation that put us to the test.  Several times along the way up we stopped and questioned going further.  But stopping gave us our breath back and we continued on to the end.  Good feeling!

Following are a few pictures taken on the hike (are you happy now Beth?).
