Not only do I enjoy backpacking into the backcountry to view the incredible sights, I also enjoy writing about our experiences to share with family and friends. I know that many of them probably sigh, and roll their eyes when they receive via e-mail Dave’s latest installment of “trip reports”, but I seem to be a hopeless dreamer, hoping someday to graduate from painful hack, to rank amateur in the writing arena. So, if you are one of those that does not care for lengthy prose, perhaps you will enjoy the pictures of our latest adventures…Of course, therein lies another arena that I, too, struggle to improve upon. The beauty that my eye sees, I’m not always able to capture on “digital”…Perhaps, it will encourage you to go see for yourself, that which I’ve tried to capture here.
Enjoy!!!
