Lynn Camp Prong Trail Loop Hike : Lynn Camp Prong trail in the Smokies was long regarded as a muddy, horse-damaged trail to avoid.  My most recent hike revealed a lovely trail with a gentle grade along the north slope of the mountains.  Narry a muddy place was found!  Photos include Middle Prong, Lynn Camp Prong, Miry Ridge, Jake's Gap and Panther Creek trails.  See my profile to link to my hiking journal website.

Strawberry Mountain - July 2008 : We spent a few days camping in the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness & on one of those days we climbed up Strawberry Mountain. Along for the climb were Nancy, Eric, Curtis, Chiyoko & myself. It took us about 3.5 hours to climb up & 3 hours to come back down, the weather was perfect with temperatures in the 80's & clear blue skies. From the top we could see both Mount Hood in North Western Oregon & the Wollawa Mountains in North East Oregon.

Photos from the rest of our Strawberry Mountain Wilderness trip can be <A HREF="http://guy.smugmug.com/gallery/5443005_enT9q">seen here</A>.

Pine Creek Canyon Backpack June 25-27 2008 : In August 2006 I did a 5-day backpack over the eastern Sierra's Taboose Pass, chronicling the trip through the lens of a Panasonic FZ30 ultrazoom digicam (gallery at  http://trailhiker.smugmug.com/gallery/1797901_MkFTy ). 2 years later, I'm now in the "digital single-lens reflex" (DSLR) world and for this 3-day ramble up Pine Creek Canyon I take a Pentax K10D with 2 lenses --- a Pentax 16-45 wide-angle with circular polarizer for landscapes, and a Tamron 70-300 macro for closer shots. I'd done the hike up to my tent site, Honeymoon Lake, about 5 years ago but didn't have a good camera with me. Despite the weight, the Pentax DSLR and 2 lenses should be perfect for the lakes and mountains I'd see...

Camp Muir : June 28, 2008.  Camp Muir with Dave and Richard.  Perfect day for a hike to Camp Muir (base camp for climbers aiming to summit Mt. Rainier.)  I considered this a test of my preparedness for Climbing Mt. Hood...and I'm encouraged!  This was an amazing day for sweeping views...and we stayed pretty cool while the folks at home were roasting in 90 degree weather.  Beautiful.
