jays backpack on the beaver creek trail

It has been over a week since our return from our at times arduous hiking adventure to the LaCrosse Basin in the Olympic National Park. My thoughts regarding this pristine back country have not been diminished in any way. This trip was noteworthy from the beginning and made quite memorable as our final hike out was at times, a laborious undertaking of great determination. Our final day was filled with intense rainfall, trail obstacles (110 downed trees), a bees nest, high stream crossings, 14 miles and laughter......lots of smiles. There is never a guarantee of perfect weather when hiking in the high country. The important thing to remember is to think our every possible situation that can happen, and is happening in real time. Act wisely and prudently as a team. The worst adversary in nature is bad decision making. It can get people injured or killed.

 

I learned that having hiking companions as wise as Ken and Kelsie taught me so much. They think out of the box and take action appropriately. They always included me in their connived plans and I was grateful for the inclusion. They are both conscientious hikers that follow all of the rules that nature throws their way. As a result, safety becomes the norm and the realization that there is always another day.

 

The LaCrosse Basin is a destination not soon forgotten, nor are the lessons learned even with the distraction of saturation as an unwelcome quest. Follow your dreams in this life lived and never shortchange yourself the opportunity of getting out of your comfort zone. Personal growth can never be underestimated. The reward of effort may disparage and completely omit the notion of-----fear.

 

People can do anything, it is all about having a positive can-do attitude :)

  

Went Backpacking for a long weekend on the Appalachian Trail. We left our car at the Hot Springs trail head in NC, and got a shuttle up to the trail head in Tennessee. We went 33.3 miles through the mountains... a lot of fun.

This is the meadow at Sibierian Outpost that I camped at for a couple of nights on a backpacking trip to the Eastern Sierra. Gotta love the aftermath of a thunder storm! A few minutes later it looked like this.
