I joined the WA Mountaineers for a backpacking trip with a couple of friends. This was my first time going with several people I didn't know. We had a terrific time and was able to get my backpacking legs warmed up for more trips this year!
Michelle took this selfie of a few of us on Umtanum Ridge where we pitched our tents.
Lunch break at a cafe... LOL
Stuart Range- wow!
It would be cool to have a one man tent when I'm not with Cory or the dogs, but it is nice to have room to pull everything inside. (except food, which gets tied to a tree away from camp)
One of the guys on the trip brought his camera and graciously shared some photos, the last 3 are ones I'm sharing here.
Mt Rainier
Amazing views! Can't wait for more! Time to try and pare down my pack weight and keep working my muscles with weights!!
I had a fabulous time
ReplyDeleteYes. Going to try getting my base weight down as well. Oye. Not sure how except getting rid of stuff sacks??? Looking forward to many more trips
