Spring 2013 Photo Gallery

Yes, a few more photos from Spring 2013's trips!  Thanks to Todd McGrath and Tom Blackman for giving us permission to post some of their images here, and a bigger thank you to all of our leaders who tirelessly culled, resized, and emailed photos for me to post with our daily trip reports - Bob Fogg, Steve Howell, and Dave Shoch.

A beautiful shot on one of the calmer days this spring!  (photo by Brian Patteson)
