Carol, Connie and Donna meandered up Chief Mountain to celebrate their birthdays - all occurring within an 8-day period in August. Specific ages will not be mentioned, except to note that Donna is officially the baby of the group.

We only saw a few hardy wildflowers, and wistfully noted the approach of autumn in the reddening foliage.
At the top, we toasted ourselves with Hussie wine-glass necklaces and pink champagne!

The views were spectacular, the weather was cool, and we lingered for almost an hour at the summit.
After a quick visit to Echo Lake Lodge, we ate heartily at a Vietnamese restaurant in Evergreen.
