Walk with Cubby to Sibebe

End of the trail.

Note: photos taken with our phone; sorry the quality isn't so good.

Looking back at the slope we came down.

The view looking back.

Wet, cold, but victorious.

What a great mountain.

The slope we came down. We stayed on/near the grass on the left side of the photo as much as possible.

Just below the summit. The clouds were fewer!

On the way to the top. Notice the burned grass everywhere but on the path.

On the path.

Practice for the summit.

A nice passage.

Some colored grass she liked.

A rock she liked.

Some attractive leaves.

More leaves.

Flowers she likes.

At the summit!

The inside of one of the 4-unit block.

Waitin' for transport to town.

Wildflower. Really nice in real life.

Dr. Seuss trees.

Pool near the waterfall.

Pool near the waterfall II.

Another watercourse.

Grace was a trooper.

Lunchtime.

Near the tanks. Notice the burned and unburned grass.

We both like rocks.

Felt like a gateway to the beyond.

Nice waterfall.

Near the waterfall.

Passing beyond the water tanks. This means passing beyond most habitations.

Rocks near the water tanks.

At the main water tanks.

Grace enjoyed sitting in the grass.

Not quite the mountain we were planning on, but getting there.

What a beautiful country.

Mount Tsina over Grace's right shoulder. We went up that a few years back.

The photo doesn't do justice to the vibrancy of the yellow wattle flowers and the blue sky.

Manafu: wattle tree sap. Grace has an eagle eye for it, and eats it like candy.

Grace found it easier to carry her bag Nepal-style early on.

A bridge crossing early on.

We are going over there!

The stuff almost ready to go.

Cinnamon buns for breakfast; get fueled up before hitting the trail.
