I enticed my father to join me on a hike to Cathedral Lake by telling him I'd be testing out some of the latest GPS devices.
 
 
 
 
We set off around 8 a.m. and drove up Castle Creek Road to the Cathedral trailhead armed with turkey sandwiches and his scruffy dog, Emmy.
 
 
The hike itself had some good elevation gain and we lucked out with great weather.  There were a fair number of people on the trail, but that was okay because it just made it easier for us to find someone to take our picture together.
 
We reached the lake in a few hours, and while taking in the view I gave my dad his first Nectar Clif Bar which he enjoyed so much I think I can get away with just giving him a box of them for his birthday.
 
The hike back took us considerably less time and the GPSs worked great, as long as I didn't bury them in my pocket where they couldn't locate a signal.  I think the winning function on most all of those devices is the ability to retrace your route back to your starting point.  So if the Clif Bars don't work out, I guess I'll have to buy him a GPS.
