Mt. Avalon (in the White Mountains) was my first hike with the Random Group Of Hikers (meetup.com). I decided to include the full size images rather than make a slideshow just so the others in the group could get the images that way, by that same reasoning feel free to grab a copy of any of these pictures, but please do not use them with out permission.

This is the first page that I am putting up on my site, so right now there isn't too much else to look at and many of the links likely don't even work (I am working on it). Also I am not a web designer, this is my first shot at actually making things look nice, most of the work I usually do is just making things work and someone else makes them look nice. That being said feedback is always appreciated. Also I was pondering the idea of creating a Random Group of Hikers page, not only would it allow us to put all of our pictures up, but if we actually start branching out into other types of groups it might tie it all together. At this point it is just an idea, let me know what you think (you can email me at ptropisms (at) gmail.com since I haven't set up the contact button yet :P ).

The first two images are so large that it is difficult to see them even when you click on them, you always end up with too close of a view and you can't see the whole thing, or too far away and you can't see the details, so give them a good look, it is worth it.

embrace your inner monkey!

the top at last!

don't think a mere flesh wound will stop the black knight... I mean our fearless leader (you can't tell from this picture but it was actually a rather nasty scrape)

A nice place to stop and rest

At this point Dave and I broke from the geroup, deciding to scmper down the river instead of walking on the trail with the rest of the group.

and Dave sings too!

There is a turn in the trail and we meet up with the group again for a couple of minutes

Everyone knows how much I hate waterfalls
