Mrs. Jeffo and I took the mutts on an overnighter backpack in the Mill Creek Wilderness- about 3.5 miles each way, plus a few more miles of hiking around. It was to get her a little acclimated to some altitude, and a shakedown for all her new gear (in related news, REI reported record profits in June 2017) that she's been buying for her week-long pack in NoCal next week. It was also a test of her bum knee and to a lesser extent my PF foot. Both held up ok. LOVE my new Soloman Quest boots. I was rockin' my trusty old Dana Arcflex pack... she has all this fnew ancypants ultralight gear. I was definitely jealous of her thermarest NeoTek. I'm still rocking (haha) a gen 2 (big valve) thermarest from the late 80's. smile

Gorgeous country, I'll see if any of my mutt pics came out worth sharing. So happy my foot held up.


The CENTER will hold.
