A couple of years ago, I started doing a "backpack" trip with Reid, and now it's become an annual event. This was the first year that I invited Boden to come along for his own backcountry adventure. We take a short hike down a local canyon, set up camp in a really great spot with a mossy tent site, an
d we try to catch a couple of trout for dinner, but carry in a few hot dogs just in case. Boden and I had a great trip this Monday night and Reid and I have our sights set on a more substantial foray into the Indian Peaks Wilderness this coming monday where we'll camp at a lake at 11,000 feet and have to do some real hiking to get in and out! It's been hot in Boulder- every day is over 90 degrees and we've had to get creative with the heat-beating activities- lot's of tubing in the creek and slip 'n' slide in the yard. Can't wait to be able to dive into Long Island Sound from the front yard! We'll be there on 8/1 as soon as the Scudders are out! Any plans for heading up that week, Julie?
