Nathan is very happy to be backpacking even if we are getting damp and can only see 50 to 100 feet at times.



Nathan and I went on this hike while the girls stayed home and did whatever it is girls like to do.



We found a tree with the center we could pull out and burn. We were happy to find it because everything else was wet and it was cold.

The freeze dried food we cooked was very good. Well worth the extra money! They even make freeze dried cheese cake.



Our tent is heavy for a pack but it works for low mile hikes. We hiked about 5.5 miles over the weekend.

Nathan tells about the fire he built.



Finding dry wood inside an old tree.

This is Nathan's first panorama. I showed him the basic things to look for and this is what he took.
Great job Nathan.

This was a nice view but not all the photos work well together.
