Goatboy, we're dealing with a Deadhead, remember?

Me like cannibalized stump.

How come no fishing pictures?

It ain't a climbing trip, and it ain't a fishing trip!








It's a jumpin' trip!








And a sittin' trip!









And a standin' trip!









But mostly a huggin' trip!

A few place names would be nice for the less travelled, less informed crowd.


Once again Timid, you are correct. I have fixed many of them above. I will try to do better.....

Survival! Thanks for sharing the land of cold & damp. I can almost hear the whine of mosquitos and the snarls of hidden bears.

I'm going to venture out into the heat now, with a smile on my sweaty old-face.

A couple more of my faves from the trip and then I guess I'll pack it in, since half the posts are from me, heh...
Thanks for looking gang.

This was certainly different: It's the hippie of Trip Reports, it is so laid-back.

Lovin' it, Nature. Yeah.

And no smelly old fish and no smelly old butt shots; just an Alaska-size love-in.

You go, Eskimo!
