Half the family just got back from a trip to the Okanogan area and while Matt and Dad were playing volleyball Leanne ventured down the road to call me on her cell phone and part way through the conversation she casually remarks, "Oh, wow, a black bear just came running by" - I'm like, tell me you're in the car! So yes, some of us enjoy a challenge. Others, like all us moms, break into a cold sweat - ha! Thanks again for info. Great touching base with you at the conference too!<br />Blessings,<br />Mrs. BryanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19600727.post-83202367904455516412011-05-11T09:59:15.502-07:002011-05-11T09:59:15.502-07:00Mrs. Bryan,

We chose to ascend up the west side, which is slightly shorter and steeper than the east side (and would have been harder on the knees if we were descending that side). It's a great hike!<br /><br />Right across the Columbia you can hike Mt. Defiance. It's about 2,000ft higher (and has snow this time of year) and apparently a pretty difficult hike, but who doesn't love a good challenge?Benjamin Berkompashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820435200585146698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19600727.post-54473794257908549332011-05-11T09:50:08.241-07:002011-05-11T09:50:08.241-07:00Hi Ben,

We are always looking for great hiking opportunities. By the way your photos are striking! And the video...well, you all had way too much fun even if it did start technically with a cat in the attic - Ha!<br />Mrs. Bryan for the rest of the familyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19600727.post-77756170856832839402011-04-26T10:56:00.100-07:002011-04-26T10:56:00.100-07:00Greetings from Texas!
