For A Stroll

Tracie and I have been talking about going backpacking for a couple years now, well we decided to we finally decided that we would take a little stroll through the mountains over the weekend and walk into the Grandaddy lakes. It is a 4 mile hike, that seems like forever when you have 40 pounds worth of stuff on your back especially when it is a gradual climb up hill for about 3 miles of it. We had a good time other than we of course had to pick the coldest weekend all summer, Friday night was pretty chilly, Saturday was cold and I wish Saturday would of been as nice as Sunday was because it was nice and warm. The only other thing that was a bummer other than the weather was the fishing, it was no good, I only caught to stinking fish. The hike out was a lot easier because it was down hill, we took our time and took pictures as we walked. Over all it was a good weekend adventure, next summer our goal is to make it to climb Kings Peak.
