Out to a spot about 5 miles in and and 40 stream jumps.
Here is a video of some of the fun:
Weather cleared up just in time for the trip
Calafia doing a little trail maintenance
Chossy.
Using the Boy Scout method, we collected all of our water drop-by drop by using bandanas and wringing them out
Trail was wet but was a beautiful day to be outside
"Blue Steel"
"Magnum"
This way!
Since our last visit a few months ago, lot of trees and overgrowth blocked our path
War Zone
We had to scurry up this little hill to get back on the trail after following the stream around blockages. Would not be the first time.
Hydrate
Like I said, trail was overgrown since our last visit
But some parts of the trial were grassy and slippery
Our camp is "that way, and then back more"... more bushwackin'
Where's Waldo?
The path to Heaven
Wearing just about all wool
Waterfall > Pool > Waterfall
A very rare left-handed axe
Best Made
Calafia's setup
"Permission to enter cammm.... Nevermind!!!"
High pressure moved in and wind was calm. Barometric pressure was holding around 1031mb.
Orion
This is my safe queen with a newly added maple burl handle for the ferro rod
No tarp for me on a clear night!
We fixed up a hasty willow grill for the steak
First trip in months without snow, had to bring the sandals.
Fire sprites were restless throughout the night
Whisky, water, repeat
Coffee and bacon. Quiet morning. Overnight low of 38*
Resting up before the hike out
The trail begins
Zig-zagged
Nature's grasp on civilization
