It looks like the little woman and I will get a chance to go on a short overnight backpacking trip in a couple weeks. Where going to head up to Sequoia National Park and hike into Twin Lakes from Lodgepole for one night.
I have been pining for the woods lately (was that bad???) So we're going to head out.
This short trip will be about 13 miles round trip. A little farther if we do a morning hike up to Silliman Pass before hiking out Sunday morning. We'll leave from Lodgepole at around 7,000' and the lakes are up near 10,000'. If we do head up to the Pass to look around that goes up to almost 11,000' elevation. I'm really looking forward to spending a night in a tent. It's been a while.
Twin Lakes was the destination on our very first backpacking trip in 1993. Gosh that seems so long ago... But it's a beautiful area if crowded at times. Some pictures of our first trip there are here: Twin Lakes 93 And our second trip is here: Twin Lakes 94
Training continues vigorously! Some may have noticed that I added a Countdown to Departure over there on the right above my picture... :D
Until the next update...
The face of pain
