TNDC Mission Peak Hike


Went on our first hike (and probably last) to Mission Peak in Fremont today.  It is a 6 mile round trip hike with the first half all up and the second half all down!   Luckily it was a cool day as there are not many trees.




When we were almost at the top, on a really steep and rocky trail, a young gal fell right in front of me and Jim and broke her ankle.  We saw it bend in very unnatural angle!  We helped get her comfortable, covered her with jackets and got another hiker to call 911.  Once she was safe, we continued our hike.  When we were on our way down, the fire department was just responding.  We felt bad for the gal who was obviously in a lot of pain and was going to miss a concert that she had tickets too later that day.

The coolest fire truck ever!

What can I say about this pic?

TNDC at the top!
 It is a tradition to take your picture at the top of the Peak near this pole.  We had to wait 20 minutes in a line of about 60 people to take the pic.


We had a yummy picnic in the parking lot once we made it back down the mountain!
