3rd backpacking trip for me
Highlights include:
- Getting to our campsite before dark
- Having the entire lake to ourselves Friday night
- Hiking to Upper Blossom Lake to find that someone had built a log raft and left it for other peoples enjoyment
- Catching frogs
- Falling in the lake( if you're a Ballard you know this happens every time I'm at a lake )
- Saving my camera from getting wet at all costs
- Hiking to Pear Lake for a mere fifty seconds, snapping a picture, then running away from the swarms of Mosquito's
- Eating freeze dried dark chocolate cheesecake
- Suntanning by the lake
- Reading and taking naps in the hammocks
- Surviving the thunderstorm from Hell
- Making it out of the mountains alive and well
- Taking a glorious shower and...
- Using my own toilet
Although I haven't gone many times, I can say that so far, I love backpacking!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you had fun. Your pics are awesome! Where does one get freeze dried cheesecake?
ReplyDeleteThe brand of freeze dried meals we like is called Backpackers Pantry and they have dessert ones :) They are super yummy... except the apple cobbler. That was gross!!
