Movies: Movie #1: Along the Trail on Day 1 Movie #2: Behind Don and Dan - Day 1 Movie #3: The paved portion of the trail - heading to Porcupine Rim |
Sunset at the Camp Site for Day 2. This day was especially long and hard for everybody (but me), as Don, Bob, and Marc-uno decided to climb an especially greulling part of the trail. I chose to wimp out -- and was much happier for it.
