 If mike thinks he is tired now, wait until we hike |
 our fearless leader |
 logjam at the trail register |
 we hike |
 we slip |
 ledges through the trees |
 leaf clumps |
 leftover from another era |
 snow graces the fallen |
 photo ops are taken |
 lots of hiking |
 |
 |
 |
 with an occasional duck |
 we reach painter swamp |
 we pose |
 |
 view of the swamp |
 time for lunch |
 |
 |
 |
 and a smoke |
 view from the swamp |
 we hike around the swamp |
 view from the other end |
 old growth |
 last view of the swamp |
 deciding to do the long loop |
 more trees |
 a junction |
 onto the loop |
 long shadows |
 some slippery banks |
 icy stream crossings |
 taking care |
 Chad is so intense |
 we rest |
 more hiking |
 and ducking |
 and stream crossing |
 |
 |
 last swamp |
 some evergreens |
 a little hill, and we finish an nice day's hike |
