Lots of Spring Break

Ferenc and I spent this spring break hiking with my family. It had been a few years since I went on this trip that my dad goes on every March and I forgot how much I like to be out there with no phones, ipods, tvs, etc. Despite some pretty nasty blisters, Ferenc liked it too and hopefully we'll be able to keep in the next few years.

and for some reason my pictures are all mixed up and there are too many of them to get it right

an abandoned cowboy camp. the box was full of old cans and stuffing to try to keep them from exploding.

Ferenc and I on the first day

pot holes we filter our water from.

taking turns lowering our packs down, and getting helped down.
