We had been recommended a little region south of us called "The Vee" which is a valley between two mountains. We were up pretty high, and the wind was pretty biting when we started. Fortunately our clothing was mostly effective, and it warmed up over time. There are panoramic views, a lake, and several hikes. We chose the 3 hour hike to see Grubb's Monument. Mr. Grubb was so enamored of the view he asked to be buried standing up, facing the view (just to be clear, he is encased in stone, you can't see him!). And we had our first sheep sighting!

| You're never too high for pancakes, amirite? |

 |
| There is something so peaceful about bubbling streams. |

| Sheep! And yes, they are spray-painted |

| RIP Mr. Grubb |

| Samuel Richard Grubb, 1855-1921. He served as a justice of the peace and high sheriff. Apparently his family was kicked out of the Quaker Society of Friends for "injurious amusement," namely "attending a ball at which music and dancing form a chief part" |
