Suited up and ready for action
Signing in at the trailhead
Not something you see everyday
Ranger station, shut down
The US doesn't pay snitches very much
Icicle Creek, looking downstream
Icicle Creek, looking upstream
Carving out the rock
Red-tipped leaves
Rain drops everywhere
Our campsite
Covered dining area
Off to Jack Creek Trail for a short hike
Cloudy but not raining
Charred stump
Icicle Creek tributary
Somewhat dried huckleberries
Not the sunniest weather you'll ever see
Huckleberry harvest
Some blue sky
View from the campground to the bridge
View from our watering area
Watering rock
View from watering rock, looking downstream
More clouds rolling in
Lelu goes for a swim
Shaking off the extra water
Breakfast water boiling, with a little overflow from last night
Oatmeal preparations
Must be clearing up, right?
Cooking pot and mugs
Tarp pond
Bungees for the tarps
Ready for some day hiking action
Blackjack Ridge Trail, our day hike of choice
Mossy trees
Blue skies lingering
Entering the official wilderness
Partial red leaf on the Oregon grape
Chilling the wasp bite
Trees trees trees
A few fallen logs
The glorious view from the ridge
Soaking up the view. Or fog.
Time to get out of here
Vine maple galore
Thinking about some tasty breakfast
Tarps, still doing their duty
Two of the tents
Trusty site #0
Watering hole in the morning light
Oregon grape, nice and shiny
No more tent
Packing up the last of camp
Waterlogged packs
Vine maple leaves
Sappy drips
Misty morning
Icicle Creek
Still cloudy
Looking downstream on Icicle Creek
Sold by 2006, consumed in 2009
Britt the coat rack
