Overnight Backpacking Trip


Darlene is planning on doing overnight backpacking trips while climbing some peaks in Colorado.  I took her for a practice run.... hiking uphill with her 25 pound pack,
filtering water from a creek, setting up her high tech tent, and cooking dinner on her new jet boil.  We had a good time.

WIND!!!!

The wind started blowing at 7:15 this morning which made it difficult to cast. 
That meant a LOT of tangles.
