dang, those 3 boys could be triplets! (not jackson, you know what i mean.)
and it flies, but we don't age, right?
Yeah.....that's mom's side. J got more of the Pruett's on height. Of those 3, two are brother's and the other is their 1st cousin.
And yes....they're all about to pass me.
Edit.....I was just looking and Jackson passed the brother's in height. They're way older and were so much bigger than him in the first picture. lol
All of my first cousin's children and my nephew. I have none of my own so these are my loves. We were missing one in the first photo. She was napping because she was brand new when it was taken.

My Parent's Jazz album collection rediscovered last week and the discs still play. The music of my childhood, before the great velvet underground radio of the 70's. Excellent teething for a future RP audiophile. Music has always been and will continue to be 'my love.'

It's a tough day hike too. One must start at 3:30 in the morning. Ask me how I know.
I bow to you sir, I could never do that. 22 miles round trip and 6100 feet elevation gain. Going down the 99 switchbacks after the 11 mile climb would be the end of me.

this is the highest I've been, top of Mount Whitney. I've been there twice. First time was after 4 days of hiking and I got a terrible headache at the top. Second time was after 3 weeks at altitude and I was able to manage the thin air.
Not much but rock at the top. Those boots were destroyed on this trip and had to be thrown out. It took several months before I could feel my feet.

This is from Gangotri, view upwards the Ganges towards Gaumukh, as far up as I ever got, 11,204 ft. and I really felt a heavy shortness of breath there, even though it was a mid-summer, heavily crowded place due to pilgrims from all over India and the rest of the world.

Yes, I have to acclimate before doing anything strenuous at that elevation, but when you are up there for a few days or more you get used to it. This was taken when I spent 22 days hiking the John Muir trail from Yosemite Valley to Mount Whitney.
Thank you.

Lovely picture. Can you feel shortness of breath, climbing that high yet?
I've only been higher in the Himalayas once and felt it strongly... it was just on the edge of a tree-border where I was...

I love the Sierras wilderness. At and above 10,000' elevation is truly a different world.
