In the parking lot at last!

Andy guzzles the last of his warm water as Fred looks down into a stream in Madera Canyon after arriving at the parking lot after our 3 day, 2 night backpacking trip to Mt. Wrightson. While Frank and I met 31 years ago during our first week as freshmen at the University of Arizona, I've been hearing about Andy and Fred for years as Frank talked about his various ventures. Having spent a weekend backpacking and another day showing them Kitt Peak, I can now call them both friends. We all had fun and the three of us have a lot in common, often ganging up on our friend Frank. This image was taken at 24mm focal length with an exposure of 1/1000 seconds at f/5, ISO 200.
