We Made It Back!!! WOO-HOOO

2008.07.22
AAHHH the Red Chariot has brought us to our destination!!

The hike to NEVER do again!! Well not this year anyway.. :)

Yep this is me!! Notice the missing smile? How far do we have to hike? how heavy is my pack?? 30 pounds of camera equipment!
And what is the dog carrying??

My husband (Ken) and Nic his I don't carry anything dog!! Ken's pack was 70-ish pounds of everything else we needed!

Ok there are the instructions!! Now get to hiking!! Where?? Well shoot straight up for a couple thousand feet!!

Well this part of the trail looks pretty easy and so GREEN!!

Time to cross a small stream. Don't fall down and get the camera equipment wet!! Wet rocks are slimey!!

WOW what an adventure... Or what a grueling hike!! Nothing like going straight up for 6 miles!! Whew!! I need a MTN. DEW!

Where is the air in Colorado anyway?? wheez gasp wheez!!

Ran out of water on Saturday.. Well actually we passed on eating dinner Saturday night so we could have one 16 ounce bottle of water between the 2 of us for the 6 mile trip back..

I tell ya I have been chugging gator ade by the gallons since we got back to the Jeep!! I hope to feel better by Thursday??
We have another hike planned for this weekend? Only a day hike though...

Madoc I -so much!- know what you've come through!
That's the hard part -and what makes it so special and precious in the end.
You made me laugh with your «missing smile»! Ha ha!

Now I can't wait to see what you caught up there!!!

tbranscum You guys need to train the dog to help you out! Looks like you had some fun, but not something I could even do. So it is a good thing that you share your pictures with us!

eljapa Must have been a great adventure! but you have to explain "I tell ya I have been chugging gator ade by the gallons " my school english isn't good enough i'm afraid:-)

TheCrazyCroat I love the pic of you Sheri. What a grueling hike. I would have died!

DancingDolphin This does NOT sound like fun to me! I say "put that dog to work"!

jim7221 Whoa..... utter respect!!...... I moan and groan when carrying my little photopack around with me!!... in fact, yes... looking at your hubbys pack I think that little wee bit on the top of it... yep, thats the size of what I would carry!!!.......... but then I dont exactly "hike"... more like "mooch" around... :P.....
Anyway, Im sure it was all well worth it though!!!!!!
