Our
morning menu offered ziplock breakfast in a bag to start us off
right. Then after a damp and leisurely morning ( & afternoon waiting
the rain and hail out) we closed down the camp and resumed our trek. |
Did
he pass some gas? |
Just
straining out some protozoa boys. |
Do
you think were having protozoa for lunch? I don't know, what do they taste
like? |
I can do anything you can do better.
(another Von Trapp number) |
We
couldn't be wetter if we were under that thing. |
Look,
I'm a fire breathing dragon.
Eh, I just coughed up this fur ball. |
And
the evil mists beckon at their heals... |
Soon
no one could tell which way was up, despite the training at Wasootch. |
Our
eagle eyes scouts persevered and eventual spy out the dreaded Chain Trail
Mountains
of Nor. |
After
anchoring in, our lead scout climbs off. |
The
others look in awe at his strength and agility. |
My
arms have to do this thing again, right! |
Do
I do that 'Butt stick out L shape' thing here? |
Oh,
right, I just stay up here and help them up. |
Concentrate,
and say 'No down here, no down here' OK I got it, I'm ready. |
Hey,
think we should take the heavy stuff from our packs and put it in the
leaders packs while they're not looking? |
Count
me in! |
Not
Down, Not Down! |
This
sure seems a lot heavier! |
Think he suspects anything? Not yet, but we better switch it at the top. |
How
do you like my glow in the dark chest stripes, they're all the rage. |
I
don't know how my stuff could possibly have gotten into your pack? |
After
overcoming the dreaded Chain Trail Mountains of Nor the group felt unconquerable. |
Then some remembered the curse that might come on any that were not honourable after passing over it. |
Shortly
there after the group found their way to Ribbon lake, and to their
astonishment found someone already there. |
It
was Dave from England. He also had a roaring fire ready to greet them.
The entertaining commenced at once, and of course the 2 leaders unloaded
and went to pop up a couple tents before daylight totally disappeared. |
Rations
by this time had become scarce. We had hoped to make it all the way to
Lillian Lake to meet up with our party of Orths. |
But
surveying our situation, it was best we stay the night with Dave and share a
few stories. |
