We picked up some new recruits and took a backpacking trip to Hidden Pond.

I recently put together a book for my dad that contained photographs of some of our many wilderness camps. I thought I would share some of those campviews and memories here.

What you can't really see in this picture is the elaborate chairs (and television, which we are pretending to watch) someone crafted out of rocks along the banks of the Elwha River. Elkhorn was our fourth - and final - night along the Olympic Traverse (Quinault to Elwha).

A more creative tribute to my retired traveling buddy.

Liam insisted on bringing his backpack. Of course, he took it off half way through our walk...

The "Women Backpacking Together" Meetup met at the Caribou Lake Trailhead in the Caribou Wilderness in the middle of the night... around midnight. Lorrie and I were there around 7:30pm so after we put up our tent and built a fire, we warded off the bears by making a lot of noise. Four plus hours! We were up around 9am and out on the trail around 11am. Got to our camp at North Divide Lake around 3:30pm and set in for a cold night. Snow all around but we found a nice meadow to camp in.
