Backcountry






Made another trip into the backcountry. Here are a couple quotes:

"I always think those ultralight backpackers are crazy until I put my pack on."

"It's too bad it's so pretty up here."

Those sum up my feelings for hiking pretty well. It was a good trip despite having to cross over decent amounts of snow and Britt being trapped in the tent trying to avoid mosquitoes. In one lake the fish were small and in the other they were bigger, but in neither lake were they numerous. However, the views and solitude on 4th of July weekend made things just about perfect.

  1. Nice country, I'm heading out to an area north of Detroit Lake tomorrow. Check out www.onewayrivers.blogspot.com for report. I'll link your page to mine if that's ok.

  2. That's good. I'll add your link onto my page. Good luck. It seems as though the snow should all be gone in that area.
