Backpacking the Gore Range

On Friday, we drove up to Keystone to meet up with our friends Josh and Amber for a weekend of backpacking. We took Maddie to the dog spa (aka kennel) while Oakley went with us. Oakley had a great time, but we decided this was going to be her last backpacking trip. Her age is starting to show. We hiked about 3.5 miles on Friday and set up camp. We then hiked up to Willow Lake on Saturday and the boys did some fly fishing. In all, we think we did about 15-17 miles. On the last day, I got another blister, which was not much fun.

I could have lived the rest of my life without seeing that last picture of a blister with dog hair stuck to it. I just gagged! Do you need new boots for your birthday?

On a prettier note, if you have to pump your own water, I can't imagine a more beautiful scene to do it in! Chris looked straight out of Legends of the Fall!

Sorry I grossed you out so much. Also sorry that all your gifts come from us with a little dog hair attached!
