Hike with Wally and Jerry to Fossil Rock - 2/8/14

On Saturday, February 8, Bronka, with friends, Wally and Jerry, hiked up to Fossil Rock in the Bald Hill Area.  This was about a 8 mile round-trip hike.  It was a cloudy, cold day.

Bronka was concerned when they started climbing up on Fossil Rock.   It was steep, slippery and wet.  She was concerned how she was going to come down once they got up there. 

When they got to the top, she said the views were amazing!  Had great view of Mt. Rainier and the valley below them.

When they were ready to come down, she said she was afraid, but when Wally pulled out a rope from his pack, she felt better.   He tied it around her and Wally and Jerry, gently got her down.  She was very relieved.   She said she had a wonderful time and looking forward to going back there in the summer.

Monday Girls Hike/Snowshoe to Snow Bowl - February 3, 2014

The Monday Group decided to hike/snowshoe up to Snow Bowl.   Bronka was joined by me, Carol W., Connie and Mare.   It was a really nice, but cold day.  We had lots of fun chatting with one another and enjoyed our beautiful surroundings.   The Hut is always such a nice place to stop at.   We had a nice hot cup of cocoa.  Lunch always tastes better after a nice hike.  Bronka, as always, amazes us.   She is one strong lady!

Connie, Me, Carol W. and Bronka!
