Boundary Waters Canoe Area Trip Summary

Beautiful spring trip and reunion in northern Minnesota with old friends David, Tom and Jim! 5 miles of canoe paddling, 54 miles of hiking, and 859 miles of driving over 8 days.  The weather was great after an early rough start with wind and bugs.  It cooled down and dried out and we had 5 straight days of beautiful weather and minimal bugs.  Between the Boundary Waters, Lake Superior and the MN rivers, this was definitely a water trip!

Eastern Sierra Nevada Exploration

 Fabulous late summer trip to the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains of California! 1540 miles driven and 124 miles of hiking over 16 days! Lone Pine, Walker, Bridgeport, Lee Vining, Bishop and Lone Pine again were the towns where we rested and dined. Slight delay getting home due to Hurricane Helene gave us an extra day in the 70 degree sunshine of El Segundo on the Pacific! We had an extended stay in Bishop so we could explore Highway 168 west of town.  Some of the most beautiful Sierra lakes were relatively easy day hikes from there.  Long Lake in the John Muir Wilderness was one of my favorites.  Inyo NF.
