114 it was time to go, as we had many miles to travel through the woods, and darkness is not slow in settling there. So after taking many pictures, we gave one last look at the magnificent surroundings, and the descent was commenced. It was now 14 o'clock, just twelve hours from the time our dreams had been disturbed. We reached the old camp at 17:30 o'clock, had a light lunch, saddled our horses, and rode home through the calm of the summer evening's twilight. Arriving there about 20:30 o'clock, we found that our cairn had been espied by means of a telescope, so that even those of our acquaintances, who smiled incredulously at our attempting the ascent, were forced, though not reluctantly, to forego the pleasure of friendly banter, which we feared when starting in the morning. To any desiring a pleasant trip and a delightful, interesting and remunerative climb, I can heartily recommend the ascent of Crow's Nest mountain.
