Indian Summer!

This term may now be deemed 'politically incorrect', but it is the only way I know of describing the wonderful, blue-sky, warm weather that we have been so fortunate as to enjoy this summer into fall.

My friend Joanne and I headed to Frenchman Coulee (aka 'Vantage') for climbing four weekends in October. We basked in 70 degree sun, in tee-shirts and flip-flops, smiling smugly at the thought of the Seattleites walking through rain puddles back home. Here are a couple of pics from our Indian Summer fun...we hope to get at least one more warm -at least not wet- day out climbing before winter sets in.

Another gorgeous day in the desert!
