Day 1.
Sunset above Bagley Lake

Shuksan


I was a it slow with the camera and all the food on the first night was gone before I could capture it for posterity.



Day 2.
Milling about trying to decide where to go.

Let's go to Lake Anne and see Baker on the way.

Bingeing, boozing and bipedalling about Baker

Day 1.

The Swiss facilities worked like clockwork.....;-)


It was difficult to break this two away from the couch.

Precision wood stacking, would you expect anything less?


Trail sign.

The Whatcom County Jail work crew!

An old trysting site.


Riverside art.

Larry goes 'out of bounds' again.

And walks the rest of the way with wet feet.

The day 1 binge.


Post prandial torpor.


Where shall we hike tomorrow

Day 2 starts with a thin gruel.

Bob shows us that he has no noticeable shaking after last night's excess.

Make your own caption.

The way to Winchester.

The goal appears through the smoke from fires in Canada.





The blue haze.


Hut at the top of the hill.


We are very insignificant in the landscape.


Blueberry feeding frenzy.


The post hike happy hour.
More bingeing and some boozing is evident.




Day 3
Preparing for Goat Mountain.

Seeking the Fringed Grass of Parnassus.

Fringed Grass of Parnassus.
Parnassia fimbriata.



Red Elderberry, Sambucus racemosa. Do you think that Sambuca might be flavoured with a relative of this?




Osama Bin Barnsley sneaks up on the blueberries.


One of those embarrassing shots that you can caption yourself.


The Canadian Border Peak and the higher American Border Peak.



Tomyhoi and Yellow Aster Butte.

Steep trail with Chuksan in the background.




Catching the breeze.

Catching some zeeze!






Winchester is the lower right.


Mexican fiesta night.



The hut has passed the Swiss Club inspection and we can rent it again next year.

Thanks to Bob and Sabina for photos.
