a few shots from my recent backpacking trip to Lake James along the Northern Loop, Mount Rainier

Admiring the view: I still feel my 25-pound pack is too big for an overnighter, but I carried two extra camera lenses

Patrol Cabin #4, three more to go

after a tough 3600 ft climb in 3 miles, I needed to cool off in the nearby glacial creek and relax

Yesterday, I had a great 20-mile hike in Mount Rainier NP

I crossed off Parol Cabin #5

I guess this winter I need to post quite a few trip reports, lol

Hey! You could have at least cropped out my blindingly white legs to spare the readers some retinal burn.

Paybacks!

For good measure here is a "trailhead" picture from the Hayden Valley Day Hike.

In no particular order is @scatman , @TractorDoc, @TheMountainRabbit , Cody, and Patrick (travelling with myself). Quite the crew!

And that picture of him on the log - he actually is regressing and remembering as a laddie how he used to pretend he was Zorro while riding the old fence out back of the house, pretending it was a mule. (The rest of us know Zorro never rode a mule.)

Scat likes lots of rain .......... AND mud.

Regression is my prime objective.

I was beginning to think that it might have been you who sent all that rain into Yellowstone on the 16th to torment us.
