This last weekend we celebrated our ten-year anniversary. Rather than stay at a bed and breakfast (as my dad suggested), we headed to the mountains. Our intent was to climb up to Lone Peak Cirque, camp, and climb. But weather and old age held us back. No matter though, we camped below the cirque at 9200', enjoyed time to relax, drank Pinot Noir from sunny boulders, cooked Indian food, and watched a half dozen mule deer stroll through camp. Our revised plan was to get up at 6:30 am, hike the 1.5 miles to the cirque and climb...but after an entire night of storms we opted for just a morning hike up to the cirque...which was beautifully carpeted in orange. Despite these setbacks, and an orthopedic surgeon's dream laundry list of body aches (cranky knees, guitar-string IT bands, high-heel neurmas, and a flexy pelvis...) we soaked up every minute of time together. And by Sunday night, over pizza and beer, the aches had subsided (temporarily) and we toasted to our accomplishment: topping of ten years of marriage with a trip that proved to be more painful than giving birth (according to E). Anyway, enjoy the photo-video, and if you need more - try looking at the photos on my Picasa web album:
