Sweetwater Mountains, Foot of Mt. Patterson, June 15, 2008

The Sweetwater Mountains. South Sister has the long ridge of snow in the center
of the photo.
For the past six years I have been called and taunted by this most everyday.

We saw remnants of the mining days on the drive up.
Getting closer to the South Sister. The road only made to within four miles of
the mountain.
I'd ski near Mt. Patterson instead and I am prepared to be called and taunted
for another year.

A cool looking "Baby's Got Back" bug we saw on the way.
View from the ridge on the way up toward Mt. Patterson. The backside of the
South Sister is on the left.
