| Taking a break from hiking at Williams Lake looking up at Wheeler Peak, the highest point in the state. This was my first attempt at reaching the summit in November 2004. My brother Rodney and I didn't quite make it to the summit. The day was too short, the snow too deep, and the mountain too tall. |
