Berries and Butterflies

I was deep in the forest at this point and had no panoramic views.

Rainy Mother’s Day

Camping has turned out to be an annual Mother’s Day plan for us, which suits me well.

Central Oregon weekend

Arno and I had the idea to leave Friday after work and drive wherever our fancy took us.

Columbus Day backpacking – Is that a bag of poo?

Arno hung a thermometer in the tent and when we checked it in the morning, it read 30 degrees. Below freezing inside the tent.

Columbus Day backpacking – Can I burn the map now?

We were the first people to leave the packed down PCT since the snow had fallen. It was about two feet deep at the point where we left the trail. Arno suggests 1 1/2 feet deep. Either way, it’s a lot to break trail through.

Goat Rocks Wilderness

We want to do things for the first time together. Is that sappy?
