Bag Night Challenge 2018

I knew @scatman and his bacon grease would get you in trouble. Bears and fires, wow, tell the Scatster to hurry on that TR. Glad you're safe and congrats on the summit.

Patience young lady. I may have to send out some teasers before I can complete the trip report. I took way too many pictures. It'll take me awhile to go through them all to find the ones I'll use in the report. Hope you can stand a lengthy report again.

Hey, we saw a mule too! :twothumbs: Dooley II perhaps? Deputy Scatman might be back in business!

Do you think the fact that they're 8 mb might have something to do with it?

Maybe. Do you know how to downsize them to only 1-3 Mb and still keep them big and fab? I usually use 1280x961 pixels and ~1.2 mB but know many use even bigger here. Experiment. Or send me the 8 mB original. I will get you my email by PM.

As has become the norm in central WA for August: smoky. Dense, then a brief cold front cleansed the air briefly, then smoky again.

I just had a base camp again and hiked almost every trail possible. I only missed the Under the Rim trail. I wanted to do this one as a nice long day hike as well but there were simply too many monsoon storms all the time. I still ended up with 36 hiking miles.
Time to move on to some solo backpacking trips soon
