We spent the weekend with friends backpacking in the Jefferson Wilderness. This was a much needed escape, Crystal has been feeling quite boring with school(...you know how it is eh Lewis?) Some photos for you to live vicariously through:
Base camp: this is funny because it's not extreme enough to warrant a base camp
Home Sweet Home (this actually isn't our tent, but I thought it was cute with the shoes out and all...all it needs is a welcome mat)
Hiking up to Grizzly Peak: It's about a 2 thousand foot elevation gain in about 3 miles
Almost to the top of Grizzly Peak, Mt Jefferson in the background (and no Winky we didn't see any grizzly bears).
View from the top of Grizzly Peak, Jake this shot is for you (little mountain, big mountain...get it?).
Mt. Jefferson from Grizzly Peak, the lake at the bottom of the photo is Pamelia Lake--that's where we were camped the night before.
Cool water falls on the way back down.
Creepy dried up river bed, I kind of felt like I was in Lord of the Rings, or the Narnicles. (wink)
Sleeping in (you can't tell from this picture but we are spooning three deep--that's Joei's head in front).
It's not all fun and games, here we are pumping our water so we don't get sick--it's actually not that much work.
Parting shot to give you a feel for the awesome view, sorry it's never as good as real life.
This is Joei after we got home...she is TIRED!

The one "almost to the top of Grizzly Peak" is fake and everyone knows it. Looks like you all had a great time. I'll try to hit it next time!
Jake
Hey that's what I was going to say! It does look fake. Stop stealing my thoughts Jake.
crystal, in one of the pictures of you and scotty, your dreads look like they are giving you bunny ears
you guys are strong!!
You guys busted us, we did photo shop that one photo!
-Scotty and Crystal
Scotty...heard you were the only man in a group of very manly women...how did it feel?
Beka
You guys are so adventurous - we love reading about your fun trips!
Did you see any grizz... oh... nevermind.
Crystal, in regards to the 'Lord of the Rings'-esque picture - would that make Scotty:
A) An Orc
B) Baromir
C) A Hobbit
D) The One Ring
E) Other: ________
From the look on his face, I'd answer 'B' myself.*
