Waiting patiently for the straggler

Here is our destination at the top of Atascosas Peak. This is an old fire lookout station. It's at 6,200 feet above sea level, with commanding views for 100 miles in every direction. You can perhaps sense the look of irritation on the faces of Jenni, Karl, Deborah, Kervens, Carlos and Vicki. They had been waiting for more than 30 minutes for me to arrive (huffing and puffing, I might add). Their lunch was finished and they were ready to head back down. I thought I might have to call in a helicopter rescue for me! But I made it.
