As we get further from the region we explored, you can see some of the damage from the prior year's fires.

Our final photo of the trip. A reminder that monsters are not all you must be leery of when in the backcountry. Some areas on the far side actually got a bit easier to traverse due to scalloping, but this side of the slope, shortly before we cleared the patch, was slick and icy. We take it seriously, but I am never so unnerved as when I reach the end and turn back to watch Andra still on the ice.

Environmentalist wackos, no bears were injured in the filming of this trip.

See you next time,
Mike, Andra, and Dawg a.k.a. "The ferocious beast"
