Anniversary Trail

Pretty flowers all over the place were in bloom while we were camping. It was great to see the different colors and the wonderful smells they bring to the environment. We even collected some and put them in a book that Katie brought along to flatten and use in our scrap booking endeavors. Katie looks fabulous in the flowers doesn't she?

Take a look at our kitchen! Its fantastic with all the pleasantries of cooking in the woods!

Anniversary Trail

Katie in various positions as she is trying to make the pack a bit more comfortable. Including the "Monkey Position" with Katie leaning over and swinging her arms back and forth. Also something noteworthy here. Katie because of this new adventure understood why horses do some of the silly things they do. Including walking slow through the water because they don't want to trip, moving their bodies and shaking a bit to adjust their packs, and going slow down hill again to watch the footing.

Anniversary Trail

Trying to stay warm at night we collected some fire wood for fires during the night. Also we warmed rocks and buried them in the ground under our beds. It worked much better than the first night when we froze. Warm during the day and freezing cold during the night. During the first night we even got desperate enough to try sleeping in the same sleeping bag. Well then again it is only our first year anniversary. Ha Ha.

Anniversary Trail

Packing for the wonderful trip.
