Well, I survived another one of our annual fall hikes. I swear Lairds Knob is getting higher every year and my knees are telling me today they're not much on the rock climbing any more . We had pretty nice weather but once we got on top of the mountain the valley was pretty hazy. Didn't see much game as it's still pretty dry and the five of us made a lot of noise. It did seem like we couldn't go 25 yards without coming across some bear scat.

| Thought it was neat how the trunk on this old tree was twisted. |

Neat rocks, glad to hear that you survived -- but then, the bears and vultures do need to eat.
Glad you guys made it!

Looks like a really nice fall hike. Hope you can keep making it a tradition.
Nice going! Love that comment on the buzzard!
I know that I've been reading your blog for a long time because I remember your past fall hikes!
I guess some bears are still awake with all that scat around.
Good for you Joe! I never would have made it -- cough, sputter!
Wow, what a job you did!
