Looks like a great relaxing time. Thanks for the report and photos. Its been a few years since I've been over to that area and it makes me want to get back soon!

It was nice and relaxing. Definitely worth going back when you get a chance.

Great photos Red!

Thanks Fronkey.

That stream looks like a great place to hang out. Great photos, looks peaceful.

Thank you Jazilla, that stream will put you right to sleep!

Thank you for taking me outside today while I am trapped in the office, it was greatly needed and appreciated.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Looks like a fantastic place to be hanging outdoors. Thank so much for sharing.

You're welcome, its a great place for hanging for sure.

Beautiful! Thanks very much for posting.

Thanx Jakerrock.

Thanks for posting. Great stuff.

Thanks for looking.

Minister Creek holds a special place in my heart.

Been a dozen or so times out there - it's beautiful. We were just out there 2 weekends ago.

Bushwhacking the creek is quicker and quite a bit easier, but doesn't afford the views like you mentioned.

Great pics, looks like you had a fun time.

Yeah, the east side of the creek is pretty easy going but we knew we wanted to camp on the west side so we didn't cross. The bushwhacking on the west side is a bit more steep, and the darkness didn't help much either.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing the trip with us. Nicely done tripod and pot hooks, love it.

Thanks for the invite, I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Minister Creek was my very first backpacking trip EVER... back when I was 8 or 9 living in a suburb of Pittsburgh, went with my dad and my dog... ah, memories.

Thanks for the flashback!

They are very rich, deep looking photos. They make me want to dive into one of them and be there. Looks like you’ve had some rain, everything seems to be alive and extra well. Good idea for tying 3 sticks together. That might come in handy one day.

Very cool! And then somehow you got banished to Michigan.

Thanks Bruciehi. We were all a little surprised at how green some things still were, like the ferns etc. They had def. had some rain recently, getting a fire going was a bit tough.

Awesome pictures, looks like it was a great time out!

Thank you CB, a great time it was for sure.

Beautiful photos and (as a person who does living history) awesome fire setup with the tripod and pot hooks!

Thank you very much, it was the first go with that style of tripod, I really liked the cross bar and the ability to hang multiple pots.

I must have been lagging behind since I just saw your thread! Minister Creek is in my neck of the woods, ( I actually work about 10 min drive from there). Hope you can make the winter hang up the road from there this feb!

Wow! Wonderful shots, Red. Love the pot stand, too! Fantastic.
