adventures
Before our backpacking trip, we stayed a night at the Buffalo Field Campaign, a really cool place to be.

We stayed at Sheep Lake for our first few days, longer than anticipated because Cindy got sick.
Jenna, Josh, and I hiked around the lake.

Screefields like this surrounded the lake on three sides.
We cut pretty much cross-country to get to our next destination, Coffin Lake, and were forced to descend this rather steep, loose-soiled slope.
Greg found an inner tube and flippers that enabled him to fish with his broken pole.
Lauren tried fishing from it too.
Lauren fell in while fishing. From the shore, not the inner tube.

Both Lauren and Greg caught fish - cutbo's, I believe, crosses between rainbow and cutthroat trout.

We hit the wildflowers perfectly. Unfortunately, we also hit the flies and mosquitos dead on.
On our last couple days, we hiked on the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail.
We emerged from the mountains to hike the last half-mile or mile in a valley.
