Wanda07_31_04.jpg

We had to end the month how it began, Wanda and the full moon.

Wanda and her nephew Wes http://www.pbase.com/wes242 were just heading out to climb 11750ft Mount Timpanogos. It is a great climb when the sky is clear and there is a full moon. Their goal was to be on the summit for sunrise. I hope they make it. Wanda hasn't ever made this climb. I use to do it every year but they old knees just won't handle the climb any more. It is one of the best hikes in Utah.

Ah yes, that beautiful full moon! Mother nature played a cruel trick that night though! (grumbly look on face) Instead of having the trail bathed in moonlight during our all night hike, we ended up using our flashlights because some thick, heavy rain clouds blew in and hide the moon. The clouds also lingered well past daybreak and robbed us of watching the sunrise. But we still had a wonderful hike and I will do it again when I get the chance!

Great perspective! The moon is a nice touch.
Looks like you might have had a remote flash off to the right a bit? Nice touch.
