In August, 1992, a cliff rescue was needed at Auchmithie. As far as can be deduced, it was carried out successfully - I hope!
My friend Chris at Island Lake in the Uintah Mountains, Utah. This lake is at about 10,400 and the water was cold.
I didn't alter this as much as it looks, but I went with photoshop's recommended contrast. Not sure about that decision now.
There is a great set of cliffs that encircle one side of the lake. I have vague memories of my first backpacking trip here as a teenager with my Dad. I remember the pack really hurting my shoulders, I am sure it was just a school backpakc with no hip belt. My impressions from this trip are I think what put me off of backpacking for many years, I couldn't imagine anyone carrying a pack if it hurt that bad. (I could have also been a very wimpy teenager). I try to remember what I felt or thought when we came around the bend and saw this scene? Was I awed? Was I amazed? Or could I only think of myself with my teenage myopia? And since Miles has seen such amazing scenery at such a young age, will he appreciate what he has expereinced?
