Barbara Larson successfully tackled leading the Moxies on a hike that we all love but dread to due the fact we always get lost and its a long drive on a rutty gravel ground. I'm not sure how many leaders we really had on this hike but we all had our maps and opinions in effort to make sure we stayed on the correct route. Once we reached the saddle and the first rise up the ridge this hike rewarded us with some of the most dramatic views in Colorado. Pidgeon and Turret Peaks loomed within reach while Ruby and Emerald Lakes laid quietly below in Needle Creek Valley. For the first time in weeks we were able to enjoy the day without threat of stormy weather. With that being said, I still did not get to sit and enjoy my lunch. So, I hope you all enjoy these posts because I am starving to death because of getting the photos for them. Our Moxie team consisted of Barbara, Mary Ann, Glenda, Candy, Lillian, Laurie, Toby, Connie and myself. We all agreed that this was the most enjoyable and easiest day of hiking Mountain View Crest as we did not get lost and although tired everyone made it home safe and sound.
