The Backpackers

Michael and the big boys have been doing some backpacking this summer. In the spring, they took a week-long trip with the Boy Scouts to Havasu Falls (Grand Canyon). That time, they hiked in 10 miles to their camp. Last weekend, they took a trip up Mt. Evans and hiked about 2 miles in to make camp. All of their gear is carried on their backs. Here's a shot of them the night before they left... just after they loaded their packs.

These experiences have truly given them a lot of knowledge about how to survive in the wild!

Oh, the joys of being a boy in the mountains...
