Sawtooths
In camp.
First, we could not believe that it’s been seven years since we’ve last visited the Sawooths (that was with our sweet Blondie girl back in 2012). Second, this was another one of those take-your-climbing-gear for a nice multi-day backpacking trip. We did not even reach our objective but the trip was quite fun nonetheless, especially for Benny who loves water. A mixture of mountain river fords and some swamp bushwhacking really agreed with him. We’ll probably go back to try again. Oh and somebody really showed us how much he can carry in his backpack.
