Well, busy weekend. Seems like I hiked a lot more than 15 miles over 2 days. Shot over 8GB of images over that time (lots of brackets of 16MB images), most in poor lighting and I haven't even filtered through more than a handful yet but here are some that I liked.
Saturday was a great easy hike in the AMR Johnstp and Edelweiss. We kinda hit the lighting just wrong, and our overcast day turned a bit too sunny for even the diffused light provided by cloud cover. It was still very dead out there, as the trees hadn't even begun to bud. Black flies and bugs were non existent. Great day though and lots of fun to just kick back and talk photography while taking our time.
Sunday, Aim, Caney and I headed for Crane Mountain. Our last trip there in 2000 or 2001 ended in Caney losing his pack around the lake. I listened to Aim and didn't carry snowshoes and the spur trail was covered with 4 feet of snow making the 1 mile hike an incredible post hole fest. Lesson learned from that...when in doubt carry snowshoes, and DO NOT PUT THE KEYS IN YOUR DOGS PACK!!!!
Anyway, 2008 Crane adventure was quite nice, although covered with blowdown, and the trail was at times poorly marked, lots of route finding, and some bushwhacking to get back. Overall great day but the black flies were out, and lightly biting at times.
