Up the Creek (even MORE Johnson Creek pix)

First: What a great time I had in JC!! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and contributed to the ambience. It was like a slumber party for the Man Child. We covered the conversational spectrum from Burning Man to the second amendment. 8)
Thanks to Zane for the second effort. I left with a cool new shirt without which, my trip might have been, well.... meaningless.
I'm slow on the draw, but here's a string of pix summarizing my trip:

Visibility: 93 Million miles. I guess it's VFR?

OK: Only the stuff absolutely necessary for a few days camping. Gotta go light this time!
Image

5000 Feet...
Image

10,000 Feet...

Lake Tahoe from 13,500 feet. Breathtaking, eh?

Image

Cascade! It's looking much better.
Image

Airfield in sight. I can almost see the Judges lining up from here.

Ahhh.... the shady spot.

Early morning near Cascade

Backcountry Boise... picking up the bro.

Proof we didn't waste any useful load on non-essentials, like real food.
Image

Just add boiling water...and time.
Image

but the entertainment is great while waiting...
Image

All too soon it's over and we have to head back into the murk.
Image

Here's why you need inflight updates in California these days:

Down and safe. Wishing the same to all the BCP participants.

We left our mark on Johnson Creek.... See you all next time, even if the creek does rise.

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Great photos YB! You and your brother are such great story tellers with your photos.

Encore!
