Back from the Sierra GWD trip
Topic: Friends, Life|So, as usual the big Sierra backpacking trip can be summed up in a few words:
- Tiring
- Beautiful
- Full of last minute changes
I’ll write more soon(ish) and put up some pics as well. For now, just be content with knowing the two of us covered over 50 miles, had almost 14,000 feet of ascent over the trip, bagged two peaks; one a classic Sierra trek and one that had a 24 mile approach and a death defying nighttime ascent along with a bivy on top and we came back healthy and whole.
So, here are three pics from the trip and a request.
There are the pics, enjoy. The request now, I have recovered from the severe beating I received at the hands of the last photography contest I entered and entered another one. This one is not so much a contest as an attempt to capture the lifestyle in Ventura County and it is creatively named, Capture Ventura County.
The Ventura County Star (newspaper) is putting together a collection of photos to put into a book. The photos are voted on (by you!) and the top vote gainers and editors picks go into that there book. I’d be happy to have you fine readers vote for those you consider the best, mine you say? Well I never would have thought.
I envy your trips like that man…
You still owe me at least one trip, D. And as usual you are invited on any and all trips I’m involved in, even being as boot as you are there, e5d.
