Here's proof that the kids did come on camp with me. I got a bit hoarse reminding them not to try to climb to the very top. Each small group wanted to go higher than the ones just above them. You can't tell, but we are already on the top of a high hill then nearly on top of the rocky outcrop on top of the high hill. (see my last photo for perspective)
We camped at the foot of a granite outcrop in the Terelj National Park. The rock reminds me of an old man's face with its many deep wrinkles and clefts.
