Bag Night Challenge 2017

Artemus, now tradition holds that I have to post some photos of my camp spots? Well, I have to check on my photo card and portable hard drive which is in my storage unit at present. See what photos I did indeed take? I do have a photo of my campsite at Shoemaker Cove near Wrangell, Ak. when camping there in this past summer. It might be some days. I have been meaning to get down there and get this again and go thru the photos. I had the camera when in Alaska. But in the Southern Utah and Arizona part of the trip, I did Not have a camera whatsoever. I have posted no photos of any of my trips of the last few years also. It is getting to the point where I want to see them again anyway. And here at BCP, soooo need to post a trip report or more of my Alaskan Trips the last few years after I get the photos of the last few years posted to my photosite.

Now I have a photo site and I really desperately need to work on it with some of my photos of the last few years. Lots of the Alaska stuff of the last some years. Now work a bunch tomorrow but maybe in this next week or so I would be able to get down that way. As this fall with no camera, am learning more as I get older of maybe just going without a camera with enjoying everything.

Now in my camping days this past year, I included the days I slept on the Alaskan Ferries also. Here slept in my sleeping bag on a lounge chair in the solarium. Always cool! And could possibly include when that week back in Jackson in my former housing in late August .... it would be an added week plus .... making it near 140 days I guess. Here was in a house where had lived for years but no bed then. So I just slept in my sleeping bad on my pad on the floor for the week with my backpack right nearby ... it is that thing on could it count or not.

Wishing Everyone the Best!

P.S.: Now as for when I was in Zion, then was with several friends and one of my friends always has his camera and taking photos. Now will email him and see if he can send a few photos of our camps together for I could post.

Thanks Kmat! This thread has been an annual incarnation since 2012. Nick bumped up the game and thus the tradition in 2013: https://backcountrypost.com/threads/bag-night-challenge-2013.1697/#post-19881.

Now not everyone plays along but most do. We are still working on Bob. :)

It is just a lot more fun if we get to see where you camped for our inspiration.

You can't be expected to come up with 130 pictures at this late date so let's make it easier. Just one ???? I am just joking with you of course...

BTW as an Alaskan connoisseur, as many here are, we would LOVE to see an Alaska TR from someone as experienced as you.
