Having sat thru this on the sidelines, I find this has all been very moving.
Once again I am reminded of how precious life is, and how it's not the toys we leave behind, but the indelible marks that have made in other peoples lives, that make life worth living.
May Ed continue to climb in peace.
It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

Best group of folks I have ever had a pleasure to meet. Taking a break in the meadow surrounding Lower Hardscrabble Lake.

This trip was a great opportunity for everyone to enjoy a full day in a beautiful mountain setting with our great friend Ed Miller.
All day we could feel him alongside us as we explored everything the mountains had to offer. The valley, creeks, waterfalls, meadows, lakes, serenity, and most of all, the endless views, feeling of freedom, and the summit. This peak was a very special place that offered everything. During the whole trip, Ed gave us all the strength, energy and love that will last in our hearts for a lifetime. Thanks Ed, have a great journey.

Kara and I were very anxious to hear about the hike and see some pics. What a welcome sight it was. Looks like you guys really enjoyed the journey, Ed was in good hands. What a fitting way to follow up after Saturday.

It was a treat to finally meet some of the people on this board (Naturealbeing, Tazz, Malachai, Mesachi Mark, Putz in Boots, Roller pair, Action Betty, JeffR) and also to hike with some of the people I have known for years, many of whom I was hiking with for the first time. Ed had many wonderful friends and you guys made this a trip I won’t soon forget.
I only managed a few photos of the lakes just north of the mountain before my camera ran out of memory (I knew I forgot to do something before I left).
I already posted a similar pic in “Picture of the Day” last night, but noticed this one today which also includes a glimpse of Dorothy in the upper right - there were just too many lakes to get into a single view:

so many moons ago Ed took me on one of my first (might have been first) backpacking trip. you guessed it "dorothy lake" Ed borrowed a pack for me and i insisted that i would pack.....here are some highlights, 32 oz western family creamer, 3 pairs of shoes, many outfits, a book collection, a can of folgers coffee (large), a box of corn flakes, hair product, costco size lotion, a six pack of some kind of pop, and frozen hot dogs...for the fire (i later found out...no fires allowed) i always wondered why he looked at me funny as i went on for hours about roasting hot-dogs over the fire...needless to say, he shook his head and INSISTED that he pack....thank god, or i would have been screwed, we day hiked the next day too a bunch of other lakes...we bathed at i believe snoqumie lake? make sense? Geez was THAT cold, i've never had so much shrinkage in my life....YIKES, we spent the day laying in the sun, then hiked backed and read and then dinner....it was FUN, I miss him.
