A last minute decision to head for a night stay at Battell shelter and come down early for work was well in typical fashion for Sarah, Odin and I. We reached the top just in time to set up camp, eat, enjoy the sunset and have a quick game of solitaire then to bed. With the temps in the low 40's and a light to moderate breeze we had the whole mountain to ourselves. With morning came a brisk hike down to Lincoln Gap then off to work. This is and will always be my favorite way to start the work day.
Tis a good one as always.
