Happy 70th Birthday Dad!!

We surprised my Dad for his 70th birthday and here are some pics from that party. I know they are small, just click on image and it should take you to another browser where you can zoom in and out and examine better the many faces of the Fay family. It was so much fun to pull this off.

Lying is not as easy as one would think.

Hiking the Egan Range

Looking down on Cummins Lake

Yes, kissing the FLAT ground.

Looking back up to where we came from.
Seriously, it was steeper than it looks.
You can ask our knees.

Hiking the Egan Range.

Where's Josh?

Did I mention it was steep?

We were killing time, dreading the hike back down.

Cute hiker--he was quite the trooper.

It was a very difficult climb.

We made it to a ridge and looked over to Cummins Lake.

Hiking the Egan Range.

Ward Mountain peak in the back to the left.

We didn't make it there this time, but hope to someday.

I don't think this photo does justice to the steep terrain.
Notice...no trail, we were going cross country.

Just taking a short break to shed the jackets.

Looking back toward the mine. Those pits are amazing.

A view of the upper terrace where we parked.

Can you believe how green it is. Is this really Nevada?

Jordan's 2nd 50 Miler!! Yes, that's 100 miles this summer.

Jordan had the opportunity to go on two 50 mile hikes this summer for Boy Scouts. They were two weeks apart and he survived and even thrived. Ah to have the stamina of a 12 year-old! He had a great time and is very close to finishing his Camping merit badge. Woohoo.

And they think kisses from girls are gross.

I Love You Dad

I remember this Father/Daughter activity, it was a blast.
Thanks again for all the good times.
