HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BANANA!!
On Monday, I said that our Mineral King happenings post was to be continued. Did you wonder when? Yesterday was a significant date in the life and history of our country, so I paused on my little tales to acknowledge September 11.
For a number of years, we have had a neighborhood get-together on the last summer weekend. I sent out an email invitation that included a warning that if you didn’t show, we might possibly set up in your nice flat front yard. We set up in the nice flat front yard and deck of a neighboring cabin. Then, The Neighbor showed up! Oops. It’s okay, we are all friends, and now we have something to laugh about for years. We moved to our not so flat back yard, and 22 of us managed quite nicely. (and The Neighbor joined us, bringing a lovely plate of fancy cheeses and some good wine, I’m told.)
The next day, too tired to want to get up early, we got up earlyish and hit the trail for White Chief.
To be continued. . .
