It's been a year since we have packed, and I really wanted to go before it got too cold in the mountains. So off we went. It was a beautiful Saturday morning. The hike seemed to be straight up. I carry about 35 pounds and Lynn 50. He was trying a new internal frame pack instead of his 25 year old external frame pack. I thought he would love it, cause I love mine. Not! We didn't drink enough water so in runner's terms, we hit the wall. A couple of funny things. We forgot forks. As I was looking for a good camping place I found some metal utensils that had a knife, fork, and spoon. Also we didn't bring sugar for the coffee, but used the marshmallows from the smores after we had thrown the leftovers in the bushes. They weren't too dirty.The night was cold, but comfy in the bags. Next day we hiked around without the big backs, came back to the camp, had lunch, packed up, and walked back out. It was a lot of fun!!!!!
