Mike's Backpacking Trip, 2008

WARNING - TONS OF PICTURES!  

I am FINALLY posting about Mike's backpacking trip to the Olympic National Park, just outside of Seattle, WA.   It's his second backpacking trip with his college roommate Conner, and they've now decided it will be an annual event.   Our good friend Chris Mehalic also joined them this year.    Thanks for Chris and Conner for taking so many pictures!  

When Mike showed me all the picture, he had story after story after story.....It was pretty entertaining.  

The only picture of all three of them together, at the trail head,  Chris, Mike and Conner

The guys were amazed at how the mountain goats just climbed right along the cliffs, no big deal...right along the edge of the cliffs!
