Crazy Carl and I had a window to get up a peak, so we took it before the smoke came back.

First a few of the boys having fun. We bought the boys graduated cylinders and pipettes and they're
enjoying making potions with food colouring and 'doing science'.

Henry likes adding straws to the fountain. In this case, he's making a cool water sprayer using his beaker.

Meanwhile, Walter is all about using chalk to make 'hand paint'.
The Wedge

We took an early start to get some mountain time, even though Jim bailed on us. The colour on Mt Kidd
looked quite striking this morning as the sun was coming up.

Nice light on Limestone Mountain, a peak that Carl and I had done previously.

Carl struggles a bit on the uphill due mostly to a lack of regular exercise, but he's a trooper and

This was an early look at the northwest ridgeline on The Wedge, our route.

ridgewalk, although a bit skinny in places.

A beautiful bubbling creek that we followed on the way up and down.
Garmin Connect data HERE with highlights on the data being 1100m elevation gain,
1600 cals burned, and 10km distance, meaning about a 22% average slope angle. Pretty steep!
