Flume and Liberty (Sage's 4Ks #43 and #44). October 16, 2011

This one's full of pictures and short on text, so I'll post the link instead of cutting and pasting the report.

Three more hikes to go! Sage is about to bump Alex off the second-youngest-girl spot (Alex doesn't mind).

Fine set of photos on your hike. We thoroughly enjoyed the Osseo Trail to Flume and spent an unbelievable amount of time on the summit; close to an hour and a half. Congrats on 2 more peaks, Sage. Guess, Max will be the next member of the family to reach his 48's after Sage.

shes pulling away from me !! what does she have left?

 

[TrishandAlex]

Thanks, Donna and freighttrain48.

Freighttrain, the remaining peaks are Isolation, Carrigain, and the Tripyramids. As of right now, Sage wants to finish on the Tripyramids (she has her heart set on the slides, so I'm hoping the weather cooperates). If we hike once a week, then she'll probably finish the first weekend of November (anyone who wants to join us, feel free -- there will be plenty of chocolate to go around).

What do you have left?

She almost saved Cabot for her last hike. Don't know why she changed her mind, but she did. Finishing on Eisenhower is a great plan. Gorgeous peak.

Inspiring

Really wonderful pictures! I plan to buy your book.

 

[TrishandAlex]

Many thanks, Mountain49! UP will be available for preorder next month (publication date is April 3).

Way to go.

Way to go girls. Your doing great. Ups, Max too of course.

 

[DaveSunRa]

Fantastic

By the way, awsome book cover picture.

 

[TrishandAlex]

Thanks, Ed!

Many thanks, DaveSunRa. I snapped that picture in one quick second during our Bonds trip in the summer of 2009 -- I'm lucky it turned out halfway decent. The folks at Crown/Broadway Books pulled it from my blog and asked if they could use it for the cover. The stick in Alex's hand was made expecially for her by Drewski, by the way.
