Every couple of years our family decides that we really are made from strong stock and that despite our various stages of "out of shape" we can perform extreme feats of athleticism. Enter Mt. Philo, a very small mountain in Vermont, only 968' elevation, but the view is gorgeous. The hike takes about 40 minutes and is no where near extreme in the attempt to climb it, even Cameron and Brooke climbed it this year without any help on the way up. It's a fun little climb and brings out the adventure in us, even the aging and feeble.
Here we are mid-hike. L-R: Dad, Mel, Mom, Alex and a little bit of Jocelyn
More of the group.
Cameron and Brooke kept up well, even if they did linger near the back of the pack
I think I used the self-proclaimed title of "hike photographer"as an excuse to linger near the back as well.
Cam investigating some bugs.
Brooke maneuvering a giant rock
Me, Mel and Jocelyn Reyes checking out some glacier moved giant rocks
in the middle of our hiking path.
***OK, so I somewhat exaggerated our level of un-fit.
We all did just fine climbing this baby mountain.
