Wow - unfreakingbelievable - the view from the top. The nervousness along the fin at the top.

Chumley said the drive is worth it -- doubted him big time hung over leaving Mariposa at like 4 in the morning before any coffee places were open. And man oh man was he right! This was nothing short of spectacular. Trudging up and up and up and up and up. Shedding layers then adding layers.

Lunch on the narrow fin at the top. I called Caroline on her watch phone from the top - told her to make the grandparents google Cloud's Rest to show her where we were. No internet but I had phone. She was focused on issues with fairness and George - kind of hilarious juxtaposition - but she understood that we were up in the clouds and almost where airplanes fly.

She asked if I could bring a piece of a cloud home for her....

Don't I wish
