Sister
#
3!
The
BIG
SISTER!
...
Bishop's Peak
I grabbed
my
companion in climbing crime,
Annie
and we were off to tackle
the
Big Sister
Now
I consider
myself
quite
strong
I mean
I work out
and run,
but......
Who knew?
Off we go
first look back
towards
Cal Poly Campus
and downtown SLO
Emerald green
grasses
and
ponds
full
from so much rain
I am
still
talking
(and breathing)
at this point
Next
look behind......
Look!
There's
Islay Hill
in the distance
and
Madonna Mountain
(aka San Luis Mountain)
Sisters one and two
just to the right
toward
Laguna Lake
and the Irish Hills
,
Oh Look!
There's our house!
See......
here's
a
better shot
can you see it now?
Are we at the top yet?
breathing
labored
no conversation anymore
There's
Steph and Brynn
just in front of me and Annie
It's
Foggy
at the
summit
(nice and cool...)
Brynn and Steph are moving pretty quickly
(At this point
I am barely able to catch my breath
heart beating
almost
out of my chest)
Annie so encouraging......not
"Come ON, MOM! You bag on me to finish all my job applications
now I am bagging on you to
keep going
AND
hike to the top!"
are we at the top yet?
At the top
YUP!
AT THE TOP
we found Steph and Brynn
The top of Bishop's Peak
sweating profusely
wishing for water
but smiling
This Big Sister
is
quite
dramatic
Crossed
down down down
.....
....
...
..
.
easier
that
UP
little flowers
driving home
Annie
shot
Sister Bishop
from Foothill Blvd.
See those rocks at the top?
that's where we were!
Big Sister
