Ready for a close-up. Just when you thought it was ok to retire the old white snowsuit and blankie-scarf, Mt. Leconte is there to prove you wrong. This was taken moments before we made it to one of Isaac's great uncle Sam's (final) resting spots. You can tell he feels privileged to be here on this occasion.

What a snazzy group shot! From left, we've got cousin Alan, aunt Catherine, uncle Jason, cousin Heath, great aunt Sylvia, my mother, me (looking coy in another direction), my daddy, and Grandpa.

Taking the rough with the smooth. "So, you nurse in caves often?" just seems appropriate and humorous for this picture. Whether this line was actually used...nah.

The caboose by choice. If you think Grandpa was in the back of the line because he's a slow-poke, guess again. We have photographs to prove that the only reason he lagged behind was to pose for the camera. It can be challenging to model and hike at the same time.
