Finally did it. Climbed Thompson Peak. After a year of procrastinating, and blowing off the winter months when I should have done this, the forecast called for a high of 75 today. It's like February in May. It was a sign from above. This was my last chance before summer, so I took it.

Trixie the 18 pound puppy blew me away with her endurance. I think she was more concerned about me than vice versa. She could have done this hike 3 more times, I'm pretty sure. At least at my pace.

Petroglyphs finally located. I'm not sure I found the most spectacular ones I've seen photos of.
