| partners | | After a Lazy Morning at HAZfest, it was time to get the circulation going...Alex and Larry were talking about doing the Hill, so it was a no-brainer, especially after hearing about the Wildflowers and Views on top... 
Unlike most people, who elected to drive to the Base,   We Hiked it from Camp...   (Personally, I just think Larry didn't want me to drive, although I think he's used to it now...I didn't even make him sick driving up to Snowbowl...  )Everyone missed such a great stroll through the Meadow!!!
Started up to the Saddle and did ok with the Uphill, as long as I didn't have to engage in Conversation, using up what little Oxygen I had... Got up to the Saddle and hung a right for the actual "Wild Bill Hill"...Loved it up top! Great Views, and the Wildflowers were gorgeous, especially when Larry wasn't busy stomping them down...  (One of those, "you really had to be there moments"... ) Took some pictures up top, had one of Larry's "Intruders" take a pic of the three of us and then we were off to the other "unnamed" Peak...
Somehow, the whole time we were up there, we missed the Hoodoos completely...  Sounds like a Return Trip is needed... Got up to the other Peak. Hardly any views from the Top due to thick Pines, but we found an Outcrop that afforded really nice Views to the South...Spotted a couple of more HAZer Hooligans on Wild Bill Hill and got some shots of them as well... 
True to my Nature, I offered up doing a little Loop instead of an Out and Back...True to Larry's Good Nature, he agreed...Alex doesn't know me very well, so his agreement was based strictly on ignorance... Sooo, down the side of the Unnamed Peak we went, and then around the front...Wasn't bad at all... Caught up to another Road on the West side of the Meadow and followed it back to Camp...
What a great little Hike! Views, Wildflowers, small Workout, and a ton of Laughs with great Company...Most of the Laughs were at Larry's expense, especially when we tried to find his Cell Phone in his Pack, but I know Larry, and he'll get even... 
Thanks Larry and Alex!! It was a thoroughly Entertaining Jaunt and very Cool!!!  |

Wildflowers Observation Moderate
Light in the Meadows, but Moderate on the Hill with a great Variety.... |
