Bona Dea Christmas Tree Hike 12/13/08

Our first stop ..... Stoby's

Breakfast for twenty-six

We needed lots of time and it took it!

Bona Dea Trailhead

On our way to find our tree

....and there it was....all naked!

....so we start

Mary Ann and her best pal

We need to get a "shorter" tree next year or a "taller" ladder.

Hooking up apples

Lots to do

Good seeing Lynn and Lou again and of course Dale

Needs more "stuff"

Donna's not quite tall enough

....so we'll see if Tom is ...

Char likes tall places

Just a few more ribbons

....and a few finishing touches

....and our sign

...and we're done for now

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM TAKAHIK

Now for a little maintenance

The whole hillside was covered

Aren't they cute?

On lookers

...but now on for our hike

Don't remember this exercise station?

We would begin to thin out

...as some begin to take different paths

Several disappeared into this thing!

Conlee doing his part

....and finally back at the trailhead

.... we came back in different groups

Woman talk!

It was a great day to be out.

Our reindeer!
