Like Jean I'm not terribly good at writing trip reports but thought I would share my latest pictures from my vacation in europe. PICTURES

The top of the mountain is at the border of Slovakia and Poland and the highest peak in Poland at 8,200 ft. The biggest mountain I've been up so far.

It took exactly 3 hrs from our lodge at 4,900 ft to the summit at 8,200 ft...
obviously the climb was relentless.
The only kind of "downer" if there was one was sharing the trail with about 500 other people... look closely on the pictures and you'll see them all. Hiking is very popular in Slovakia.

Great photos, that area looks beautiful. I would love to get out there someday and do some hiking.

...another reason to believe that life is too short to climb all the peaks we want to climb !

Great trip Phil, nice pictures
