	Skirting a cinder cone.		Crossing Wickiup Plain.
	Ridge-walking through the Sisters.		Rugged lava 'staircase' of switchbacks.
	Flatch hiking through fields of sparkling obsidian.		The porous volcanic soil made for anomalies like this spring, gushing forth out of the side of a rock wall.
	Glen kickin' up some dust on a straightaway. Note the customized Whisper pack with added side pockets.		Princess and Ma practice their ballet leaps while waiting for the last hiker to hit the rendezvous location.
