I am so jealous of where you live.


Great trip report!

Thanks It was fun to put it all together.

Great pics and glad you enjoyed yourself. One question: How did the silly-footed muffin cup work out? If it did well, would it fit inside a Snow Peak 900 and where can I get one?

Silicon baking cups are here from Wilton I goofed up mine and added way to much water to the mix turned it into soup and even though I tried for longer than I should have it never cooked right. My fault. I have done it a number of time correctly but it helps to measure out the right amounts of ingredients. A SP900 would work fine for baking in. I will try again down the road and get some pictures of how to do better. There are 1 or 2 threads here on HF and some Youtube videos on it already if you search steam baking you should find some. I really wanted that brownie too.

Paul:
All I can say is........Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!Glad you had a great time in the woods and thanks for the great pics and report. Absolutely jealous!!!!!!!!!!!

Great report Paul. Glad you were able to get out and stretch your legs.

Thanks guys, it was nice to get out

COOL, You have some of the best terrain to hike.
Snazzy shirt in that last pic!

Hey Ah it is a darn snazzy shirt wish there was a place to get them all the time. Best made custom shirt I have ever owned.

Great pics and report. Thanks Paul. That is truly beautiful country.

Thanks, it was a nice trail, I had not expected as much out of it as there really was.

Great photos and great report ... sounds like a really good weekend. Gotta love those solo trips! Thanks for sharing!

Clears the brain to hike alone, less people to argue with that way

I have to move out west...flat swampy pine trees are no fun!

There are some neat places your way as well, I want to get back to hike in the south-east a little rather than just work like last time.

Paul, Thanks for a really great trip report and your pictures are absolutely top notch. That sure is some beautiful country that you live in. I too am jealous! Nothing like a trip like to help recharge the batteries.

Felling recharged, refreshed and ready to go again.

You bet, come on out any time! This years is only 3 months away next years only 12-15 months away! Time to plan for sure. Would be happy to have you.

Thanks, I took way more video than pictures but the camera I have now is terrible for video so it all looks really bad, and it is just me huffing and puffing my way up hills blabbering on and on about the trail and the hills and blaw blaw blaw. I wish I had taken some pictures up in the snow but it was all vid and it really did not turn out very well at all. May still put some of it together don't know yet.

OK OK you guys got me, I was slightly disappointed in the super secret prototype gear. Not sure yet if it was any fault of the gear or me or what but more testing will be needed to see if I can find the flaw. Guess that means that I will have to take another trip soon.....Darn

That was a right goodie of a briefing! Makes me miss the snow soooooo much....
Your landscape pix are fantastic .... I can smell the smells and feel the breeze.

It was thick of sage and mint, New leaves and the dirt below my feet, of mud and stone. Love the woods in the spring time

[rip waverly]

i'm watching close for new wind of the experimental gear.
