Hi Joe, we were in DV last weekend too. You might be interested in the hike we did. We dayclimbed Towne Peak. About 1000' below is the site of a plane crash. It landed on its own (the 6 man crew bailed), in the dark, running on one engine, intact. Its in our "snowdude2002& quot; webshots album.

That shot with the field of flowers is wonderful. I hope the flowers are as pretty this weekend.
