Bob DenOuden's Pacific Northwesterner

Another Catch-up, October-December

The trip down from Pine Mountain's summit, the back way

I am getting lazy, distracted, or both so it has been a long time since I have posted anything. We've been out and about a bit this fall, but nothing as extensive as the September trip to British Columbia. Had a long, dry fall here in the PNW. Great for biking, but not so much for our ski season. Hopeful things change soon.

Vancouver Island

Maria and I took the camper up north for most of September. Ferry to Vancouver Island, Ferry to Prince Rupert, and ferry to Haida Gwaii. Then back to Prince Rupert and on to the Rockies. It was a stunningly beautiful loop. We definitely need to get back up to the western Canadian mountains again soon.

In the interest of getting a blog post out, here are some pictures from the last month or so, including the annual week-long backpacking trip, this time in the Beartooth-Absaroka Wilderness of Wyoming/Montana. Not much text - but self-explanatory and DONE!

We've had a busy spring and early summer, in fact, too busy to post much on my blog! Here is a catch-up post of many trips and adventures in the past few months. More to come!
