Our first inaugural camping trip with the Orams and Coppins started with an overnight backpacking trip to a mountain lake. Although TJ had seen a road on Google earth head directly to the lake, we felt it appropriate to take the trail. After losing the trail, finding the trail, bushwacking it down a mountain face covered with 4 feet of snow in some places/mud in the rest, and turning a 2.6 mile hike into a 3.5 mile hike, we found our mountain lake, and it was gorgeous. Needless to say, we took the road on our return journey.

This reminds me of another beautiful spot we got to in a very interesting way!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun trip. I can't believe they did it with the kids...and you agreed to go with them! At this moment Xander is climbing in my head while I try to type.
