Backpacking


How do I summarize such an amazing weekend? We got up to the cutoff around 1130 and unloaded our packs. I will be the first to admit that the hike up was one of the most mentally and physically challeging things I have ever done before in my life! It was horrible...but the people on that mountain with me were so encouraging and so patient--just what I needed! We took it slow and stopped whenever anyone needed to rest....

You can see all the pictures you want when you move in!!

And yes...I was really hot with that pack on. ;-) That's the kind of 'hot' you were talking about, right???

Ah, the weather was so nice! About 70-75 during the days, and 40ish at night...a welcome change from the 100s+ here in the valley!

Geez - that backpack is almost the same size as you! Is carrying it like an ant carrying something weighing more than itself?

I know!! It is about my size, isn't it?

It was filled with clothes and food and a sleeping bag and a bear canister...necessities! I guess in that respect, it's just like an ant who carries necessities (no matter their size!) on it's back. :-)
