Back from our 10-night, 2,637-mile road trip through the Pacific Northwest. Overall it was an excellent trip with fantastic weather. Ironically we didn't see a drop of rain until 10 minutes after getting home today. Looking back on it, we shouldn't have tried to cover as much as we did. It would have been better to stay in one area longer and explore more in-depth. It was still awesome as-is though. The pic below is our last campsite last night at Farewell Bend on the Snake River in eastern Oregon.

Think of it as recon for future adventures

Fall backpacking is here! The crowds and bugs have gone, and the fall colors are changing! This may have been the last new moon weekend out there for me before I have to head south for dark skies. You never know, but what I do know is by late September to early October, that usually does it for me backpacking the Uintas. A few more weekends of fun still left to be had. I really enjoyed this weekend trip to Cutthroat. Nothing special or big adventure about it. Just a nice walk, great camp, mellow thunderstorms, and the night sky was the best I have had all season. I did not let this one slip away and enjoyed it to the fullest! Cheers!

Now up to 54 nights with an overnight outside of Yosemite:

As M's tendonitis in her heel continues to be an issue, we have slowly but surely begun to take a few trips this summer. We're way behind our usual average, but things seem to be getting better....and so we thought we would look for a trip that wouldn't put too much stress on her heel. Saddlebag Lake, just east of Yosemite, offered the perfect solution this past weekend.

It was indeed great, but I'm now approximately 0-for-7,000 in the bears department

Unbelievable. Like if I didint know better I'd think you were pulling our collective leg.

Rockskipper · Sep 14, 2018

@LarryBoy may not have seen any bears, but I bet plenty of bears saw him.
