Couldn't have been a better kick off to the vacation....despite the fact that we got lost....and got all of our food eaten by a bear and had to come out a day early. It was just amazing to sit in the dirt and grass and not worry about sitting on a hypodermic needle.
After we woke up to our ransacked stuff sack and realized we were lost we were a bit disgruntled...
...and then we happened upon this diving board that some fellow hiker was kind enough to construct in the middle of the woods. So we chucked our packs and shoes and took a much needed swim.
After that excursion I turned around and got on a plane to Seattle.....where everything was right in the world for a week :) Here's why:
That last one was the view from the plane as I was leaving, as if to say "don't forget how much you love it here, we will be right here when you come back."
