I've tried crocs but couldn't get 'em to fit right--didn't know they had a model with velcro straps, I'll have to check those out. They do look great as a lightweight in-camp shoe.

I'd venture a bet that those lakes might still be frozen right now with our weird weather in WA this year. Looks like gett'in into CERTAIN parts of the backcountry in WA is gonna be a few more weeks still.

Brad- Those pic's were taken on the NPT a bit south of your NPT shots that you scanned a while back. Mine aren't quite that old, but still required a scanner... I carry one of these 10-8 Blackjacks these days for solo use. http://hornbeckboats.com/ The 'jack saves over 20 lb's from the red canoe pictured above. Last edited by ken999; 06/18/08.
