@Bob, The Bob finding a rest while waiting for us youngsters to catch up on Day 7 of our grueling Glacier Tour in the Wind Rivers this week. Four days over treeline in the High and Wild. More to come.

A week ago on the PCT with some friends. We did a 3 day 30+ mile hike.

Total shot in the dark, but I know my buddy Blue Moon is in the area (he was in Cascade Locks last week). You happen to run into a real friendly thru-hiker, in his 60's, blue Osprey pack?

Hard to know, but we came across a LOT of thru hikers.

It's not everyday you get to hike with these two characters:

@Bob and @Artemus


I have a lot of respect for these two. Listening to their stories, watching them in action, seeing the expressions on their faces. Despite the scenery, it was the company that made the trip memorable for me.


@Artemus watching water fall.



@Bob taking in Rocking Horse Lake.



@Artemus with his game face on as @Bob descends into the Gannet Creek drainage.



@Artemus and @Bob trying to figure out where we are at.



@Bob finally made it to Bear Basin. Overlooking Bear Lake near the foot of Daphne Lake.



Myself and @Artemus climbing above Iceberg and Baker Lakes.



Myself climbing above Connie Glacier and its lakes.

@Smokey, @Ezra and @Dave on the banks of the Green River after the sun had gone down. A little teaser of something that might be coming soon.

A little teaser of what might be coming soon ?!?! Holy Smokey, now that is a teaser! Maybe. Looks like that raft carries more stuff than the pontoon boat.

Hmm...whiskey and a microphone. I don't see this going horribly wrong in any way, shape, or form.

A few mug shots from the last 2 months. I've got some reports to write up:


Fairyland Basin, Yellowstone National Park.



After 9 years, I finally made it out to Gyrfalcon Lake, in Glacier National Park.



Another shot of me at Gyrfalcon Lake, with my buddy Pat, who masterminded our traverse of Thunderbird Mountain to get here.



@Keith R. and myself drying out after the first of several snowstorms, overlooking the Thorofare Valley, Yellowstone National Park.



@Keith with the elk skull along Broad Creek, a short distance downstream from Tern Lake, Yellowstone National Park.


@Keith R. and myself drinking beer at the top of Knapsack Col in the Wind Rivers. As usual, I had spilled open a beer in my pack, and pored the remaining beer in my water bottle, which is what Keith is drinking from.



Me enjoying a view of the Thorofare, along a side channel of the Yellowstone River.



Me near our off trail camp as the saddle above Olson Lake, Glacier National Park. Starting from the left, you can see Vulture Peak, Redhorn Peak, Nahsukin Mountain, Trapper Peak, and several others including Longfellow and Heaven's Peak.



Me working my way up above Connie Glacier, in Wyoming's Wind River Range.



@Keith R. and myself along Two Ocean Plateau, Yellowstone National Park.



Mariposa Lake, Yellowstone National Park.



@Keith R. and myself hanging out with some guy named Mario, at Bowman Lake, Glacier National Park.


I sort of feel guilty posting all of this, but if some of you guys are going to count bag nights, I would prefer to just post pictures, and hopefully encourage a few people looking at them to get out here.

 

[Ben]

^happy for you man.

What's to feel guilty about? Post pictures, post bag nights, post stories! All are welcome and encouraged.

@Joey I just have to say WOW at everything you have been posting. The Glacier nerd in me is really shining and with those other places, I am super impressed. Also, Very nice you finally got to Gyrfalcon Lake, seems like a wonderful place to get to that happens to be in a wonderful park. Will hopefully try to get to it sometime before I'm 26 ish (arbitrary age)

P.S. Where the heck is Olson Lake!? never have I heard of anything Olson in GNP lol
