PASS CREEK TRAIL

The Moxies enjoyed a wonderful hike up the Pass Creek Trail to the flower filled meadow of Engineer Mountain. The wildflowers were incredible. The Larkspur at the trailhead were 5-6' tall, the bluebells were chiming, the pink elephant flowers were splattered along the small pond and the Old Man of the Mountain was overseeing them all. The only thing missing was our friend Marcie who told me she absolutely loves this trail during wildflower season and was sorry she couldn't join us. So Marcie, we dedicated this hike and ALL the beautiful flowers to you. Angela even found a song for you:  Marcie -  by Joni Mitchell. You can listen to it on youtube. I hope this post inspires you to get out to smell the wildflowers and start hiking again.

Early morning start up Pass Creek Trail for the Moxies. But wait, one Moxie is missing..It's Marcie. She informed me that she really loves this hike and wished she could be with us.

The group waits for the photographers to shoot the pink elephant flowers.

Angela says to Marcie ""I'm Missing your face my friend. Hope we will be hiking together soon. Feel better!! "

Kim wishes Marcie was on the hike so she could meet her.

Marcie the wildflowers are beautiful. Join us soon.

Marcie, this time Gina isn't waving at you. She is just trying to get a cell phone signal.

It is my understanding that we may have stolen someone else's rock for lunch.

Rain is in the forecast. The Moxies head down the trail and hope to reach the trailhead before the storm hits.

To Marcie: The Moxies Miss You!
