Great outing and group effort. I watched the slide show. Amazing stuff!
There's always that little change in the day's appearance and conditions when dusk settles in, too. Wonderful stuff!!

Damn it, Damn it, Damn it... Now I wish I continued on. The pictures of Ben Lommond peaking up out of the clouds is epic!

This is an addictive area. Good job on Ben Lomond, though as Shrubhugger mentioned, you guys sure took the long route.

Well, my ankle was bothering me too and I didn't want to push it. Looks like I might have a inflamed ligament.
