Another weekend, another adventure!
Well...not really...I just drove to one of the same areas as last
week, but I dragged the trailer along and spent a night this time.

After exploring a few new areas on my way up the hill, I finally arrived
at my camp site about 8:15 Friday night. Altitude of 9880 ft...temperature of 53 degrees...PERFECT!
Quick setup of my home for the evening, and time to relax!

The view from the "rear deck"... :)

The Welcoming Committee sent this little guy to check on me.

Just in time to enjoy the sunset through the trees.

Decided I was hungry, and the Pudgie Pies were calling, so it was time to get my fire going.

After I was well fed, I simply sat and enjoyed being outside...the cool breeze...fresh air...camp fire...sounds of the forest...

After a good night's sleep, I awoke and headed out exploring some of the area a bit.
Didn't see wildlife like I was hoping (They were all down over the ridge at the lake),
so I found other stuff to shoot.

This beast of a fly decided it liked my shoe...

Hey Look!! A Plane!

I did some more exploring, but I've shot most of it already before, so I won't bore you with the same old stuff.

This little gal wandered through camp in the evening just as I was preparing to head
over to a different area to catch the sunset before heading home.

...and then the sun set...

Smoke from fires in Idaho and Oregon have drifted across our skies here, making for some spectacular color!

Then the Farewell Committee sent this guy to see me off...
