#2: Ascend All 106 Steps of Mt. Bonnell to Enjoy the View


And what a view it was! The number 106 sounds like a lot, but in reality, it took my husband, David, and I hardly any time to climb from the yoga class practicing next to the stair entry to the young couple kissing at the top of the mountain. We looked around at the wonderful view from all sides--we got there at sunset, so it was perfect!
We even got to see our church, Riverbend, from the right-hand side, just behind the trees.
We walked into a clearing a bit down the mountain and unpacked a dinner of Italian bread, brie, strawberries and kiwi, and sparkling grape juice. Very tasty! It would have been perfect if there were candles (preferably citronella ones--the mosquitoes were out in a vengence!), but it was a wonderful time.
We came back down and had just enough sunlight to enjoy the rest of our picturesque drive down Mt. Bonnell Road and 2222. A fabulous time! Enjoy the pictures!
