Wind Rivers 2011
I am attempting to catch up on some of my adventures this summer and fall.
The first is the backpacking trip to the wind rivers. Danny and his son Luke, joined Isaac and me for a 3 night backpack trip into Smith Lake basin. I had been in there before with Gordon and others and we did a gear drop for that trip.
This time we carried all our gear. The weather was good, but the bugs were the worst I've ever had in my life. There was some bug that landed on you and crawled up your arms or legs, (even if they were covered), and bite you many times that left huge marks. Don't know what it was, but it made the trip almost unbearable.
We did catch lots of fish and had a great time.
Jecca had a terrible time with the bugs. Her whole body had bites after the trip and due to her age she was exhausted by the time it was over. I included a picture with her on the way out. Her eye got infected and she laid right in the dusty trail, too tired to care.
