We did make it up to Haystack at 11,641 feet, however, we saw no elk (but quite a few signs). We were also a few weeks late for the strawberries, but found lots of currants. If you have ever tried to pick currants you know how vicious the thorns are, so we only got a couple bags full.
I was laughing at myself on the way up as I tried teaching life lessons the whole time, saying things like, "Life is like climbing a mountain, son". Am I really that Dad already?
