Sahara finds a comfy spot. Sorry Jonathan, I guess you're out!
|
|
 |
|
and off we go, ...the blind leading the blind...
|
|
 |
|
the hovering clouds loom like sentinels...
|
|
 |
|
large mobile patches of light and shadow...
|
|
 |
|
remains of a fallen giant...
|
|
 |
|
pooch and i take a break - me in my tinkerbell outfit...
|
|
 |
|
Jonathan begins a steep descent...
|
|
 |
|
Sahara: "I can't believe you make me wear these silly boots!"
|
|
 |
|
looking down Carson River; southbound view upstream- make sense?
|
|
 |
|
pinecones galore!!!!
|
|
 |
|
Sahara nests amongst the tall grass...
|
|
 |
|
view of the east bank...
|
|
 |
|
Jonathan discovers a giant marshmallow stick!
|
|
 |
|
exposed roots along the bank
|
|
 |
|
the sun dips and the temperatures begin to fall...
|
|
 |
|
patterns...
|
|
|
 |
|
Jonathan, why did you push that tree down?
|
|
 |
|
signs of an approaching winter...
|
|
 |
|
Offended by Sahara's joke, Jonathan seeks some alone time...
|
|
 |
|
Sahara and Jonathan go exploring!
|
|
 |
|
signs of life and color amidst the quiet...
|
|
 |
|
contemplating: "...did i leave the seat up before i left home?"
|
|
 |
|
as the temperature rapidly drops, i find faith and begin to pray
|
|
 |
|
...waking up to a lovely morning!
|
|
 |
|
"Wish you were here Lorena ...to carry my stuff" - love Jonathan
|
|
 |
|
tall lanky Jonathan tries to blend in with the trees...
|
|
 |
|
Sahara sports the new rugged "one-boot-on/one-boot-off" style...
|
|
 |
|
Jonathan trudges through the brush to reconnect with the trail
|
|
 |
|
Sahara: "Will you put the camera down and hurry up!"
|
|
 |
|
every line tells a story!
|
|
 |
|
Jonathan attempts a Gene Kelly dance routine with his stick!
|
|
 |
|
hmm, ...Sahara is unamused and unimpressed...
|
|
 |
|
one fertile valley!!!
|
|
 |
|
trailmarkers! - we're on trail!
|
|
 |
|
Poochy and his trademarked three-boot style!
|
|
 |
|
clouds (and chills) set in for the evening...
|
|
 |
|
Jonathan documents proof, ...that we were actually there!
|
|
 |
|
one relieved backpacking party ...back at the trailhead!
