While organizing my hiking photos, I came across this picture of a friendly local who joined us while we prepared a quick breakfast at Trail Camp. I had spent a long night feeling nauseous with altitude sickness. This local didn’t seem to be bothered at all by the altitude! I woke up with absolutely no appetite…this critter seemed to be starving!

He made the disappointment of heading back down the mountain, short of my goal, just a little brighter!

As always, if you’re looking for me, I’m over the hill!
