We haven't managed to hook up for a weekend in the woods for the past two years so it was great to get out together. I'm sure she agreed, especially b/c I add a certain amount of adventure to any camp-mate's sleeping experience. Apparently, I sat upright and screamed, "Oh MY GOD!" and then settled in back to sleep, while she was left with adrenaline pumping and fear of a hungry bear attack. Good times with Heather...this is pretty typical. ;)
We had one sunny day with great views.
We camped at Tops Lake, near the PCT.
...which leads me to the next topic: the Pacific Crest Trail, many an outdoorsman's life goal. A good friend is talking about trying to do it -the entire thing- this spring. Its not official or for sure yet but I look forward to helping out when she commits to it.
Carly & I ran into a guy, probably in his 50s, who was about to complete the PCT solo. It sounds like a pretty cool experience. Hiking for that long is bound to have an interesting impact on your body, mind, and soul.
