Backpacking Part One

Eric took a backpacking trip last week and we saw him off with many well wishes (for many fish!!!) I've never seen him so excited about something (other than his family) and it was wonderful to see that beautiful smile!

All of the things he'll need for six days in that one pack!

Here's three out of four guys so nicely taking the "before" pictures for us. :-) The other guy was meeting them closer to the trail.

Snow capped mountains???? No, actually it's just all granite! That's a lot of rock. Eric came back with many fun stories and that wonderful smile too! This was to be a fishing/backpacking trip and Eric ended up catching over 50, yes, Five-Zero fish!!!! Oh my! One was even over 16 inches long so not just small ones either. Yes, he did release a lot of them but the guys had a fish fry the last night, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

For now we're glad to have him home, but we're glad he took this amazing trip!
