Joyce had the group up and ready to hike early. It was important to get there early to get a parking place. We scored a place close to the restrooms. Our first hike was to Sentinel Dome. It was 1.1 miles, over a rocky incline with a scramble at the end. They were so enthused with success that they decided to hike to Taft Point.
Taft Point trail started out nice and shady but became much harder. The trail was through the shade, mud, over logs and over boulders. It was a long walk to the end and even longer back to the car. They might have started yelling “Car, Car when they saw it”.
It was a short day but yet a long day.

That woman needs to move – Larry is going for the top 
Not as excited as the first hike. 
I am too close to the edge and don’t want to hike any more.
