Picture Parade Four Hundred and Seventy-Five

Recent photographs of Sexton Mountain.

When my son and his partner, Lisa, were with us, just over a week ago, Alex suggested that he and I explored Sexton Mountain; some three miles to the North-East, as the crow flies. Normally the final stretch has to be walked because of a locked gate across the trail. However, that day the last 8/10ths of a mile were driven. It was a beautiful place with that summit 3,833 feet above sea-level (U.S. Geological Survey).

We descended 200 feet to be clear of the overhead cables. This is the view looking towards the South; the road being the I-5.

It was a grand occasion.
