'Twas a beautiful Saturday morning
just after sun up when Baggers
William and Reagan started Seymour to ascend
What trail there was though faint at times
went up with twists and turns to
seemingly no end.
Rock, rocks, and more rocks!
Roots, roots, and more roots!
All to side step or trip upon.
Then can you believe snow fields
in august for slipping on slush
both up and down many times?
Where in the dickens is that
De Pencier Bluffs? Please,
GPS give us some help!
Well after a rock climb with few footholds
but many bushes to grab we found
daylight at the top.
A small cairn to which we added a
few rocks was surrounded by
magnificent vistas, awesome quietude
and time for an apple snack
Then down, down, down past a bear
on the way back to town.
My goodness, what a morning!

Cairn?
Last fall, Jason and I built a little rock cairn. Did you find it? I think I buried a plastic superhero in the middle
found the little cairn
My pop and I watched your's and Jason's video the night before the hike. We found the little cairn you set up. We doubled the size of the cairn - Dad was really into the spirit of that. No plastic superhero was found however. Sure you didn't just imagine that?
Dude!
Ask Jason. BTW, that bear he remembers was really me with my shirt off...
Might have seen the same bear, too!
Nice one, Reagan. What a
Nice one, Reagan. What a perfect day for a hike up De Pencier.
