backpacking: part 2

Here is the final installment of the Amethyst Lake adventure.


Horrible self-portrait. This is what the cold lake water did to it, though, very curly.


The puppy who we tired out.


Blue-green lake we camped by.


Down hill action shot.


Crossing one of the many boggy areas. From left to right, you see Eric, Steph, Jim, Mel and pup-pup in there somewhere. This was the typical line-up until I decided I was not using the great outdoors one more time as a necessary. A thought that I had never thought would cross my mind did: An outhouse is a luxury!


Where the trail paralleled a river for a while on the descent.


Leaving/Entering the Wilderness area. In this instance: leaving.


Meadow pictures





The aftermath. I didn't even try to count all the mosquito bites!
