Back from the hike, quick pictures

Post by warf »

Wow. Got back Sunday night. What a place. 215 sq miles of amazing backcountry.

We ended up with 76 miles over 10 days on the trek.

Saw Mule deer, turkeys, eagles, and rattlesnakes. No elk :(

The Tooth of Time, on our first day.

The "other side" of tooth of time ridge on our secnod to last day. Had to hike 11 miles that day to te top of that ridge and down past the tooth. Lot's of elevation changes and tough hiking.
Image

These mulies weren't afraid of anything. Encounters of less than 15 feet happened routinely.
Image

My son and I at the summit of Mt. Phillips at 11,795 feet. Wow, what a view, and what a climb!
Image

Another great view from just below Commanche Peak.
Image

At the finish line!

Can't you feel our souls ignite
Shedding ever changing colours,
in the darkness of the fading night,
Like the river joins the ocean,
as the germ in a seed grows
We have finally been freed to get back home.

i HAVE DONE SOME HIKES LIKE THAT. GREAT PICS.
A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week. A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood. No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards die for their country.
